About

Claus Petersen is a pediatric surgeon whose work centers on the surgical management of congenital hepatobiliary disorders in children, with a particular focus on choledochal malformations (CCM) and minimally invasive techniques. His major contribution lies in systematically identifying and addressing persistent clinical controversies in the treatment of CCM. Notably, his 2022 international Delphi survey, which gathered consensus from a global panel of pediatric hepatobiliary surgeons and gastroenterologists, is a landmark effort to standardize care for this rare condition. This work, cited 7 times, highlights his role in shaping evidence-based practice. Petersen also advanced the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery in children, a 2017 paper that has garnered 17 citations. Through these contributions, he has helped bridge gaps between surgical and gastroenterological perspectives, improving outcomes for young patients with complex biliary anomalies. His research is essential reading for clinicians and trainees navigating the nuances of pediatric hepatobiliary surgery.
