About
Dr. P. Salibi is a pioneering hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeon whose research is redefining the role of robotic surgery in complex oncologic resections. Her work focuses on demonstrating that minimally invasive techniques can achieve outcomes comparable to—or better than—traditional open surgery for aggressive cancers like gallbladder cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In a landmark 2021 study (23 citations), she provided the first single-center comparative evidence that robotic resection of gallbladder cancer is both safe and oncologically sound, challenging the long-standing preference for open approaches. Her expertise extends to technically demanding procedures, as shown in her work on robotic-assisted completion cholecystectomy (11 citations), where she established a minimally invasive solution for reoperative biliary surgery—a notoriously high-risk scenario. Dr. Salibi has also contributed critical long-term oncologic data for robotic left pancreatectomy (8 citations), filling a gap in the literature on survival outcomes. Beyond individual procedures, she has shaped the field by outlining the essential team dynamics required to build an effective robotic liver surgery program. With a publication record that spans robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy and splenopancreatectomy, Dr. Salibi is a leading voice in advancing the frontiers of robotic HPB oncology.
