About
Dr. Melinda Bajul is a leading surgeon-scientist whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) techniques, particularly for treating colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Her major contribution is the landmark "SIMMILR-CRLM" study (2022), an international, multicentric retrospective analysis of over 1,200 patients from six specialized centers. This work systematically compared outcomes between open liver resection (OLR) and laparoscopic approaches, providing robust evidence that MILR offers superior perioperative outcomes—including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and lower complication rates—without compromising oncologic efficacy. With 20 citations in just two years, this study has rapidly become a foundational reference for hepatobiliary surgeons worldwide. Dr. Bajul’s research is notable for its rigorous methodology and global collaborative scope, directly informing clinical guidelines and reshaping surgical practice for CRLM patients. Her achievements underscore a commitment to evidence-based innovation, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
