Saber Ghiassi

About

Saber Ghiassi is a leading bariatric and general surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing metabolic and bariatric surgery outcomes, with a particular emphasis on comparative effectiveness and health equity. His most impactful work, a 2024 study drawing from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Quality Improvement Program, compares the outcomes of single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy (SADI) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) against the gold-standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This North American analysis provides critical, real-world evidence on the safety and efficacy of these newer procedures, directly informing surgical decision-making. Ghiassi also investigates disparities in surgical care, as seen in his 2024 study on ventral hernia repair, which examines access and post-operative outcomes for non-Hispanic Black versus white patients in the era of robotic surgery. By highlighting these inequities, his work pushes for more inclusive surgical practices. With his contributions to high-impact, quality-improvement research, Ghiassi is shaping the future of metabolic surgery and advancing the goal of equitable, evidence-based patient care.
