About
Roger Wahba is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly in hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgery. His major contribution lies in the development and clinical validation of true single-port cholecystectomy, a procedure that dramatically reduces surgical trauma. In his landmark 2019 study, Wahba demonstrated the first human case using the novel "symphonX" platform, combining a single 15-mm trocar with ICG cholangiography for real-time bile duct imaging. This work, cited 12 times, represents a significant step toward scarless abdominal surgery, offering patients faster recovery and reduced pain. Beyond gallbladder surgery, Wahba has also contributed to image-guided minimally invasive approaches and local therapeutic procedures for primary liver tumors, as detailed in his 2018 German-language review. His research bridges cutting-edge device innovation with practical surgical application, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of single-port and navigated surgery.
