About
Misha Armstrong is a pioneering surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery and addressing disparities in surgical access. In their landmark 2024 study, "Advancing minimally invasive hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery: barriers to adoption and equitable access," Armstrong systematically identified the systemic, institutional, and training-related obstacles that prevent broader adoption of laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex liver, pancreas, and biliary procedures. This work has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. Beyond technical innovation, Armstrong’s research uniquely bridges surgical outcomes with health equity, highlighting how socioeconomic factors, geographic location, and hospital resources influence patient access to cutting-edge care. Their contributions are shaping national guidelines for HPB surgery training and informing policy discussions on resource allocation. Armstrong’s commitment to both surgical excellence and social justice makes them a vital voice in modern surgery, inspiring a new generation of clinicians to consider not just how we operate, but for whom.
