About
Samuel Rey is a pioneering surgeon specializing in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a focused research interest in robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy and the prevention of postoperative biliary complications. His major contributions center on identifying and mitigating risk factors in high-complexity pancreatic surgeries. Notably, Dr. Rey led a landmark study on the use of biodegradable biliary stents to reduce biliary fistulas in patients with bile ducts ≤5 mm, a critical risk factor affecting 3–8% of pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 4 citations for its innovative approach to a persistent surgical challenge. Additionally, his 2025 investigation into whether robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy is non-inferior to open surgery in patients with high PD-ROBOSCORE difficulty ratings has earned 2 citations, addressing a key debate in surgical oncology. By systematically evaluating technical challenges and intraoperative complications, Dr. Rey is shaping safer, more effective robotic surgical protocols. His research directly impacts clinical decision-making for high-risk patients, demonstrating a commitment to advancing minimally invasive techniques while improving patient outcomes.
