About

Patrick G. Jackson is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a career dedicated to rigorously evaluating the role of robotics and laparoscopy in improving patient outcomes. His seminal work, "The Benefit of Force Feedback in Surgery" (164 citations), provided a foundational, systematic assessment of haptic technology in robotic blunt dissection, demonstrating its critical impact on surgical precision. Dr. Jackson has been instrumental in shaping the modern surgical landscape for gastric cancer, authoring key reviews and protocols that compare robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches. Notably, he leads the IMIGASTRIC study (35 citations), a multi-institutional, international effort designed to standardize outcome comparisons and overcome the limitations of previous research. His American perspective on current treatment options (24 citations) has helped clarify best practices for surgeons. Through these contributions, Dr. Jackson has not only advanced technical knowledge but also established the evidence base necessary for the safe and effective adoption of minimally invasive techniques in gastric oncology.
