About

Dr. Ryan S. Turley is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) malignancies, with a particular focus on pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). His landmark 2016 review, "Contemporary review of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy," has garnered 12 citations and remains a foundational resource for surgeons navigating the transition from open to laparoscopic and robotic approaches for periampullary cancers. Dr. Turley’s work systematically evaluates short-term outcomes, demonstrating that minimally invasive PD can achieve comparable oncologic results while reducing recovery times and complications. Beyond this seminal review, his broader contributions include refining patient selection criteria and operative protocols that have helped standardize these high-stakes procedures. With a career dedicated to improving surgical precision and patient outcomes, Dr. Turley is recognized as a key voice in the evolution of HPB surgery—bridging technical innovation with evidence-based practice to expand treatment options for patients facing some of the most challenging gastrointestinal cancers.
