About

Nuh N. Rahbari is a pioneering surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. His work centers on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex oncologic resections, with a particular focus on liver malignancies. Rahbari’s major contributions include leading the landmark ROC’N’ROLL trial (2024), the first randomized controlled trial to compare robotic versus laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer, demonstrating a significant impact on patient quality of life. He has also standardized complex robotic liver surgery through international expert surveys and introduced innovative techniques like scissor hepatectomy for parenchymal transection. His research extends to robotic repeat hepatectomy, minimally invasive mesohepatectomy for central liver lesions, and robot-assisted esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, consistently showing improved perioperative outcomes. With over 140 citations across his most-cited works, Rahbari’s influence is rapidly growing. Notably, his systematic review on robotic versus open total pancreatectomy and his work on central venous pressure reduction during liver resection further underscore his commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. Rahbari is a leading voice in the global shift toward safer, less invasive cancer surgery.
