About
Paul D. Hansen is a pioneering figure in the field of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, whose work has fundamentally shaped modern surgical practice. His primary research areas include the development and standardization of laparoscopic and robotic pancreas resections, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and safety. Dr. Hansen’s most notable contribution is his leadership in creating the Miami International Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection (IG-MIPR), a landmark 2019 paper with 478 citations that established the first global, evidence-based consensus for these complex procedures. This work has provided a critical framework for surgeons worldwide, reducing variability and enhancing the quality of care. Beyond this, his research has consistently advanced the field, demonstrating that minimally invasive approaches can be performed with outcomes comparable to open surgery when applied in appropriate settings. With a career dedicated to rigorous evidence synthesis and clinical innovation, Dr. Hansen’s guidelines remain a cornerstone reference, influencing training, practice, and future research in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.
