About

Dr. Michelle Toder is a leading figure in bariatric and robotic surgery, whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive metabolic procedures. Her primary research focuses on the safety, efficacy, and technical refinement of robotic-assisted bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Dr. Toder’s most impactful contribution is her landmark study from two high-volume centers, which provided critical, real-world data on the outcomes and reproducibility of robotic-assisted gastric bypass, helping to establish it as a viable and safe alternative to traditional laparoscopic approaches. This seminal work, published in 2012, has garnered 88 citations, underscoring its influence on surgical practice and training. By demonstrating the feasibility of this complex procedure in high-volume settings, Dr. Toder has helped pave the way for broader adoption of robotic technology in bariatric surgery, ultimately improving patient outcomes and expanding access to advanced surgical care. Her ongoing dedication to surgical innovation continues to shape the standards of modern bariatric practice.
