About

Dr. Stefan Scholz is a leading pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on congenital hepatobiliary anomalies, particularly choledochal malformations (CCM) in children. His major contribution lies in systematically identifying and addressing critical controversies in the management of these rare conditions, where evidence-based guidelines have long been lacking. Through his landmark 2022 study, an international Delphi survey among pediatric hepatobiliary surgeons and gastroenterologists, Dr. Scholz pioneered a consensus-building approach to resolve longstanding debates on diagnosis, surgical timing, and technique. This work, which has already garnered 7 citations, provides a vital framework for standardizing care and improving outcomes for affected children worldwide. Dr. Scholz’s research is distinguished by its collaborative, multi-disciplinary methodology, bridging surgical and gastroenterological perspectives to tackle complex clinical questions. His efforts are shaping a new era of evidence-informed practice in pediatric hepatobiliary surgery, offering clear guidance where ambiguity once prevailed. For students and researchers, Dr. Scholz exemplifies how systematic inquiry can transform rare disease management from anecdotal to evidence-based.
