About
Sharona Ross is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) procedures. She has made significant contributions to advancing robotic approaches for complex abdominal operations, including major hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy, consistently demonstrating that robotic platforms can achieve outcomes comparable or superior to open surgery while offering potential cost efficiencies. Her most-cited work includes a landmark SAGES safety analysis of the da Vinci Surgical System (74 citations) and influential studies on robotic liver resection and Whipple procedures that have helped shape modern surgical practice. Ross has also explored cutting-edge surgical robotics engineering, contributing to the development of MARVEL — a wireless miniature anchored robotic videoscope designed to reduce instrument crowding in laparoscopic surgery (37 citations). Her cost analyses challenge assumptions about the financial burden of robotic surgery, providing evidence-based guidance for hospital administrators and surgeons alike. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 500 citations, Ross has established herself as a leading voice in the adoption and critical evaluation of robotic surgery across HPB specialties.
