About

Shanaz M. Hossain is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, particularly for obese patients—a high-risk, often-understudied population. Her major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, demonstrating that robotic approaches yield lower conversion rates to open surgery and reduced blood loss, even in complex cases. In her 2023 study on robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in obese patients (16 citations), she provided critical evidence that robotic techniques may improve outcomes without increasing morbidity. Her 2024 multicenter analysis on conversion to open surgery (7 citations) further clarified risk factors, while her 2023 work on pancreatic adenocarcinoma in obese patients (5 citations) showed comparable oncological outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic methods. Most recently, her 2025 study on spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (4 citations) identified factors related to clinically relevant pancreatic fistula, offering actionable insights for surgical planning. By consistently addressing the intersection of obesity, minimally invasive techniques, and pancreatic disease, Hossain’s research is shaping safer, more effective surgical strategies for a growing patient demographic.
