About

Pejman Radkani is a surgical innovator whose research sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with particular expertise in hepatobiliary and thoracic procedures. His work has significantly advanced the adoption of robotic hepatectomy, demonstrating through rigorous single-center studies that robotic approaches to liver resection are not only safe but also cost-effective alternatives to open surgery — findings that have garnered over 40 citations and reshaped how surgeons evaluate minimally invasive liver operations. Radkani has made meaningful technical contributions as well, pioneering refined operative strategies such as extrahepatic inflow control combined with laparoscopic CUSA parenchymal transection to enhance the safety profile of complex robotic major hepatectomies. His thoracic surgery publications further illustrate his breadth, with early community-center experience in robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic lung and mediastinal tumor resections accumulating over 35 citations combined. Notably, his evolving body of work — spanning learning curve analyses, parenchyma-sparing central hepatectomy, and complex combined pancreatectomy/hepatectomy — reflects a career dedicated to expanding the frontiers of robotic surgery while rigorously tracking outcomes, safety, and institutional growth across more than 150 robotic hepatectomies.
