About

Jeffrey D. Borrebach is a leading researcher in surgical outcomes and health services research, with a focus on optimizing complex hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) and minimally invasive surgery. His work has fundamentally shaped how surgical teams measure and improve the quality of pancreatic surgery, particularly through the concept of "optimal pancreatic surgery." In a landmark 2019 study (95 citations), he assessed North American trends in pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy, providing critical benchmarks for morbidity reduction. Borrebach is also renowned for his investigations into surgical learning curves and robotic proficiency. His 2020 study (93 citations) demonstrated how structured mentorship and formal robotic skills curricula can flatten learning curves for robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy, directly improving patient safety during technology adoption. Further contributions include analyzing predictors of conversion in laparoscopic and robotic HPB surgery (57 citations) and evaluating large-scale robotic inguinal hernia repair outcomes (51 citations). His work on proficiency-based training and credentialing (31 citations) has also shown that standardized training can simultaneously improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital costs. Through these studies, Borrebach has provided the evidence base for safer, more efficient adoption of advanced surgical technologies.
