About
Rodrigo C. Surjan is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a career-long focus on advancing laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex procedures. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches for traditionally high-risk operations, including central pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, and major liver resections. Surjan’s work has been instrumental in expanding the boundaries of robotic surgery, as evidenced by his highly cited papers on laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (42 citations) and his comprehensive 11-year experience with laparoscopic pancreatic resections (22 citations). He also reported the first robotic liver resection in Latin America, a landmark achievement that has inspired broader adoption of robotic hepatectomy in the region. His innovative techniques, such as robotic ALPPS and totally robotic caudate lobe resection, address some of the most challenging scenarios in hepatobiliary surgery. With over 150 total citations, Surjan’s research continues to shape clinical practice, offering patients safer, less invasive options for complex pancreatic and liver diseases.
