About
Rosa Klotz is a leading surgical researcher whose work is transforming the landscape of pancreatic and esophageal surgery through rigorous clinical trials and innovative data science. Her primary research focus is the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive versus open surgical techniques, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures. Klotz is best known for her pivotal role in the EUROPA trial, a landmark randomized controlled stage 2b study comparing robotic versus open partial pancreatoduodenectomy, which has already garnered 118 citations and is reshaping surgical practice for pancreatic head diseases. She has also contributed a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized trials on minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, synthesizing evidence from 41 citations to guide clinical decision-making. Beyond traditional outcomes, Klotz is pioneering the field of "surgomics," using active machine learning to extract intraoperative features from robot-assisted esophagectomy for personalized surgical outcome prediction. Her work on the MICkey trial protocol for minimally invasive esophagectomy further underscores her commitment to reducing morbidity in complex cancer surgeries. With a growing citation impact and leadership in multicenter randomized trials, Klotz is a driving force in evidence-based surgical innovation.
