About

Shafiq Rehman is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive liver resection. His research critically evaluates the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic techniques, aiming to define the true clinical advantages of robotic surgery beyond its higher costs. Rehman’s most cited work, a 2024 meta-analysis with 76 citations, systematically compares perioperative outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic liver surgery across various settings, challenging assumptions about robotic superiority and providing evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making. This landmark study underscores his commitment to rigorous, outcome-driven research that directly informs operative practice. By dissecting the nuances of surgical technology, Rehman helps shape the future of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, ensuring that innovation is matched by demonstrable patient benefit. His contributions are essential reading for surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted procedures.
