About

Ryan C. Broderick is a leading minimally invasive and robotic surgeon whose research spans bariatric surgery, foregut surgery, and the emerging field of surgical neuroergonomics. He has made pivotal contributions to optimizing surgical outcomes, particularly through the adoption of robotic platforms for complex procedures. His work on robotic revisional bariatric surgery, analyzing over 40,000 cases from the MBSAQIP database, demonstrated that the robotic approach reduces morbidity compared to traditional laparoscopy—a finding with significant clinical impact. Similarly, his comparative study of robotic versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has informed ongoing debates about safety and efficacy. In foregut surgery, Broderick has advanced techniques such as intraoperative endoscopic Botox injection to prevent the need for pyloric drainage during esophagectomy, and he has championed minimally invasive paraesophageal hernia repair in elderly patients. Notably, he is a pioneer in surgical neurophysiology, using EEG and EKG to study intraoperative error and surgeon performance during robotic simulations, work that promises to reshape surgical training. With highly cited papers and a commitment to evidence-based innovation, Broderick is a key figure shaping the future of robotic surgery and patient safety.
