About
Juan S. Barajas‐Gamboa is a pioneering surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, bariatrics, and artificial intelligence. His most impactful work includes the first-in-human experience with a novel robotic platform combined with a Magnetic Surgery System, demonstrating his commitment to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive technology. Barajas‐Gamboa has made major contributions to esophageal and metabolic surgery, notably establishing the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiation—a study that has garnered 33 citations. He has also advanced the field of revisional bariatric surgery, publishing on robotic single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass after sleeve gastrectomy and comparing outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic conversional procedures using the MBSAQIP database. His work on pain management after sleeve gastrectomy, comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, addresses a critical patient-centered outcome. Most recently, Barajas‐Gamboa has explored the role of AI in modern hernia surgery, offering practical insights into how predictive analytics can transform surgical risk assessment. With a growing citation impact and a focus on innovation, he is shaping the future of robotic and AI-assisted surgery.
