About
Patrick D. Lorimer is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques for complex conditions like chronic pancreatitis. His major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the clinical and economic viability of robotic longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) compared to traditional open surgery. In his most cited study (2017, 16 citations), Lorimer demonstrated that the robotic approach can achieve comparable clinical outcomes while significantly reducing hospital costs and length of stay, challenging the assumption that robotic surgery is always more expensive. This work provides crucial evidence for the adoption of robotic techniques in pancreatic surgery, balancing patient safety with healthcare economics. Beyond this flagship paper, Lorimer’s research portfolio explores the intersection of surgical innovation, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. His findings have informed surgical decision-making and resource allocation, making him a notable voice in the push toward value-based, minimally invasive pancreatic care.
