About
Dr. Juan M. Sarmiento is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric and pancreatic cancers. His major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches to gastrectomy and pancreatectomy, demonstrating that robotic methods can achieve oncological adequacy—including proper lymphadenectomy—while potentially improving patient-reported outcomes and reducing complications like incisional hernias. In a landmark 2023 study analyzing over 11,000 patients, Dr. Sarmiento showed that robotic gastrectomy is noninferior to laparoscopic gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma, a finding that has already garnered 12 citations. His work on central pancreatectomy, also published in 2023, provides early evidence that robotic approaches may offer superior recovery experiences. With additional studies on laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and minimally invasive hepatectomy, Dr. Sarmiento is systematically building the evidence base for robotic surgery in complex hepatobiliary and gastric oncology. His research, cited over 30 times, is shaping clinical practice by helping surgeons choose the optimal approach for each patient.
