Anne‐Sophie Mehdorn

About

Anne-Sophie Mehdorn is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery, bariatric procedures, and hepatobiliary and esophageal oncology. Her research has made significant contributions to understanding the clinical value and technical refinement of robotic platforms across multiple complex surgical disciplines. Among her most influential contributions is a retrospective analysis of 214 laparoscopic and robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures, which has garnered 55 citations and shed critical light on the learning curve associated with robotic bariatric surgery. Her comparative work on revisional bariatric surgery and global benchmarking of robotic outcomes further establishes her as a leading voice in defining quality standards for this evolving field. Mehdorn has also advanced the use of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in robot-assisted liver surgery, addressing one of robotic surgery's key limitations — the absence of haptic feedback — with two dedicated studies accumulating over 50 combined citations. Her contributions extend to esophageal surgery, where she has standardized robotic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and explored postoperative quality of life outcomes. With nearly 230 total citations across her most prominent works, Mehdorn represents a rigorous and technically innovative force in modern minimally invasive surgery.
