About
Mazen A. Juratli is a pioneering surgeon-scientist advancing the field of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a focus on complex oncologic procedures of the esophagus and liver. His work has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of robotic esophagectomy (RAMIE) and robotic liver surgery. Dr. Juratli’s major contributions include demonstrating that RAMIE significantly reduces postoperative acute pain and enhances the rate of complete tumor removal (R0 resection) through total mesoesophageal excision. He also led the validation of the IWATE criteria for robotic liver resections, providing a crucial preoperative risk-assessment tool. His research on quantitative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has opened new avenues for real-time intraoperative assessment in visceral and transplant surgery. With his most-cited works accumulating over 140 citations, Dr. Juratli’s leadership in the Upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA) registry and his systematic analyses of anastomotic techniques and caseload volumes have set new standards for quality and safety in esophageal cancer surgery. His recent work also highlights the prognostic impact of sarcopenia, integrating patient physiology into surgical planning.
