About
Dr. Markar is a leading figure in the field of bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic technology to complex weight-loss procedures. His seminal review, "Robotic bariatric surgery: bypass, band and sleeve. Where are we now? And what is the future?" (2012, 8 citations), established a critical framework for understanding the unique anatomical and physiological challenges of operating on obese patients. In this work, Dr. Markar systematically evaluated the emerging evidence for robotic assistance in gastric bypass, banding, and sleeve gastrectomy, providing a foundational roadmap for the field. His contributions have been instrumental in defining the current state and future trajectory of minimally invasive bariatric surgery, helping surgeons worldwide navigate the integration of robotics to improve operative outcomes. Dr. Markar’s research continues to shape clinical practice, making him a respected voice in the ongoing evolution of surgical care for patients with obesity.
