About

Dr. Sepideh Gholami is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work is redefining the standards of care in gastrointestinal oncology, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgical approaches. Her research has been instrumental in demonstrating that techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic gastric resection can achieve oncologic outcomes comparable to traditional open surgery while significantly reducing patient morbidity. Dr. Gholami’s landmark 2017 study on minimally invasive gastric resection (21 citations) established a foundational framework for these procedures, and her comprehensive review of the field (14 citations) has become a key resource for surgeons adopting these techniques. More recently, her 2024 analysis of the ACS-NSQIP database (7 citations) provided critical, population-level evidence comparing outcomes of minimally invasive versus open pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, directly informing clinical decision-making for one of the most challenging cancer surgeries. Through her rigorous, data-driven approach, Dr. Gholami is not only advancing surgical technique but also shaping the evidence base that guides how we treat some of the most aggressive gastrointestinal malignancies.
