About

Rami Rhaiem is a leading figure in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in left pancreatectomy. His most-cited work tackles the critical challenge of intraoperative conversion from minimally invasive to open procedures—a complication occurring in 15–30% of cases. Rhaiem’s research identifies key risk factors for conversion and introduces a predictive Conversion Risk Score (CRS), a practical tool designed to improve preoperative planning and patient counseling. By rigorously assessing the association between conversion and severe postoperative complications, his contributions directly enhance surgical safety and outcomes. With over 4 citations on this pivotal 2025 study alone, his work is rapidly gaining recognition for its clinical utility. Rhaiem’s achievements underscore a commitment to refining surgical techniques, reducing risks, and advancing evidence-based practice in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. For students and researchers, his research exemplifies how targeted risk stratification can transform complex surgical decision-making.
