About
Maximilian Bockhorn is a leading figure in pancreatic and hernia surgery, renowned for his contributions to evidence-based surgical guidelines and minimally invasive techniques. He spearheaded the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) consensus on managing the pancreatic transection plane after distal pancreatectomy, a landmark paper with 73 citations that standardizes a critical step in pancreatic resection. His recent work focuses on advancing robotic hernia repair, particularly through comparative studies of the extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach. In a 2025 propensity-matched comparison, he demonstrated that robotic eTEP yields superior early outcomes over traditional eTEP, with 9 citations highlighting its safety and efficacy. Bockhorn has also pioneered the use of fluorescence guidance in remnant cholecystectomy, as shown in a dual-center cohort study (8 citations), and has critically evaluated drain placement in minimally invasive ventral hernia surgery (4 citations). His research, bridging expert consensus with innovative robotic applications, has shaped modern surgical practice, improving patient recovery and procedural precision.
