About

Shahin Hajibandeh is a leading researcher in minimally invasive surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches in colorectal, hepatobiliary, and pediatric urologic procedures. His most impactful work includes a highly cited systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrating that C-reactive protein can predict anastomotic leak in colorectal surgery (101 citations), a critical contribution to postoperative monitoring and patient safety. Hajibandeh has also conducted landmark comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic techniques, including meta-analyses on pyeloplasty for pediatric pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, splenectomy, total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, and left lateral hepatic sectionectomy. His work consistently evaluates safety, feasibility, and outcomes, as seen in recent studies on robotic simultaneous resection of synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases and robotic radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. With over 200 total citations across his publications, Hajibandeh’s research provides high-level evidence guiding the adoption of robotic surgery, and his work on robotic cholecystectomy as an index training procedure has practical implications for surgical education and credentialing in the UK.
