About

Rebecca Sorber is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving outcomes in complex abdominal procedures. Her work spans the intersection of vascular and pancreatic surgery, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted interventions. Sorber’s most cited study, “Factors associated with successful median arcuate ligament release in an international, multi-institutional cohort” (2022, 45 citations), provides critical insights into optimizing patient selection and surgical success for this challenging vascular compression syndrome. She also made notable contributions to the field of robotic pancreatic surgery, authoring “Technical considerations for the fully robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy” (2017, 18 citations), which helped standardize approaches for one of the most technically demanding procedures in abdominal surgery. Her research has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic techniques for pancreaticoduodenectomy, addressing the historical barriers posed by the anatomic complexity of pancreatic tumors. With her work cited by peers worldwide, Sorber continues to shape best practices in minimally invasive surgery, offering evidence-based guidance that improves patient outcomes and expands the reach of robotic surgical innovation.
