About

Farzad Mokhtari-Esbuie is a leading researcher in bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted procedures and the management of extreme obesity. His most cited work, "A superior approach? The role of robotic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with super super obesity using the 2019–2022 MBSAQIP database" (2024, 9 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to the field. In this study, Mokhtari-Esbuie leveraged a large national database to rigorously compare outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with a body mass index over 60, providing critical evidence that robotic techniques may offer advantages in this high-risk population. His research directly addresses the pressing clinical challenge of optimizing surgical care for super super obese patients, where complication rates are traditionally higher. By analyzing real-world data from thousands of cases, he has helped clarify the role of advanced technology in improving patient safety and recovery. Mokhtari-Esbuie’s work is distinguished by its methodological rigor and its focus on translating big data insights into actionable surgical guidelines, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive bariatric surgery.
