About
Eric Lorenz is a prominent surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with particular expertise in robotic and laparoscopic techniques for liver resection and upper gastrointestinal oncology. His work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and clinical outcomes, focusing on advancing robotic-assisted procedures and optimizing their integration into standard surgical practice. Lorenz has made significant contributions to understanding the clinical utility of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in minimally invasive liver surgery, with his 2021 adoption study accumulating 39 citations and helping establish ICG as a critical tool for intraoperative tumor visualization. His development of the Three-Device (3D) Technique for robotic liver parenchyma dissection represents a meaningful technical innovation, while his learning curve analysis of 100 consecutive robotic liver resections provides essential guidance for surgeons adopting these complex procedures. His multicentric international studies on minimally invasive resection for colorectal liver metastases — the SIMMILR series — have shaped global perspectives on comparative surgical approaches. Lorenz has also contributed to esophageal surgery research through the UGIRA registry and championed surgical education through the Robotic Curriculum for young Surgeons (RoCS). With nearly 200 cumulative citations across his most impactful publications, his work continues to meaningfully influence modern surgical training and practice worldwide.
