About
Pascal Probst is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery. His major contributions include landmark meta-analyses comparing laparoscopic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy, with his 2019 paper in *Annals of Surgery* accumulating over 270 citations and providing pivotal evidence from randomized controlled trials. Probst has systematically characterized learning curves for open, laparoscopic, and robotic pancreatic procedures, offering essential guidance for safe surgical training and implementation. His network meta-analysis on adrenalectomy techniques, cited more than 100 times, has helped clarify optimal approaches for this procedure. Notably, Probst has investigated virtual reality simulation in robot-assisted surgery, demonstrating its value for skill transfer and assessment. He has also developed complexity and experience grading systems to guide patient selection for minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy, addressing a critical barrier to broader adoption. As principal investigator of the DISPACT-2 and MIVATE trials, Probst continues to shape evidence-based practice in pancreatic and esophageal surgery. His work has garnered over 700 total citations, establishing him as a key voice in the safe, data-driven evolution of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
