About

Ninh T. Nguyen is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, surgical robotics, and bariatric medicine. With research spanning two decades, Nguyen has been instrumental in shaping the evidence base for robotic and laparoscopic approaches to complex abdominal procedures, particularly gastrectomy and bariatric surgery. His early work, including "Application of Robotics in General Surgery" (2004) and "Surgical Robotics" (2005), helped establish foundational clinical frameworks at a time when robotic platforms were only beginning to enter the operating room. His highly cited 2017 propensity score-matched study comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy for gastric cancer — accumulating over 100 citations — provided critical comparative outcome data that continues to inform surgical decision-making globally. Complementing this, his involvement in the multinational IMIGASTRIC protocol underscores his commitment to collaborative, large-scale research. His analyses of bariatric procedures using national surgical databases further demonstrate his dedication to outcomes-driven practice. Collectively, Nguyen's body of work has helped legitimize and refine minimally invasive surgery as a safe, effective standard of care.
