About
Samer Tohme is a leading surgical oncologist whose work has profoundly shaped the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. His research centers on robotic and laparoscopic approaches to liver and pancreatic resection, with a particular focus on comparing surgical techniques to optimize patient outcomes in cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal liver metastases, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Tohme's most influential contribution, a matched comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic hepatectomy published in 2013, has garnered over 354 citations and helped establish the clinical legitimacy of robotic liver surgery at a time when its adoption was still nascent. His 2012 study on minimally invasive left lateral sectionectomy (141 citations) further cemented his role as a pioneer in this space. More recently, his 2020 investigations into long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic pancreatectomy — including outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy — have addressed critical gaps in survival data for pancreatic cancer patients. Collectively, Tohme's body of work, spanning systematic reviews, national cohort analyses, and registry-based validations, has helped define best practices and patient selection criteria in minimally invasive oncologic surgery, making him a vital reference point for surgeons and researchers worldwide.
