About
Dr. Marc Schiesser is a leading figure in minimally invasive esophageal surgery, whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical management of esophageal cancer. His primary research focuses on advancing surgical techniques to improve oncologic outcomes and patient recovery, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures. Dr. Schiesser is best known as the principal investigator of the landmark ROBOT-2 trial, a randomized controlled trial comparing robot-assisted thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy to conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy for resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma. This highly cited study (101 citations) provided crucial evidence on the safety, feasibility, and potential advantages of the robotic approach, helping to define a new standard of care. Beyond this seminal trial, his contributions extend to refining operative techniques and investigating perioperative outcomes, consistently demonstrating a commitment to rigorous clinical research. With a citation count reflecting his influence, Dr. Schiesser’s work has not only advanced surgical science but also directly impacted patient survival and quality of life, establishing him as a pivotal innovator in the field of upper gastrointestinal oncology.
