About
Sheraz R. Markar is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic techniques, and artificial intelligence in operative medicine. He first established himself through rigorous comparative analyses of robotic and laparoscopic approaches to complex procedures, including his widely cited meta-analyses on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (114 citations) and Nissen fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (73 citations), which helped define early evidence standards for robotic surgery adoption. His research expanded into esophagogastric oncology, where a notable population-based cohort study examined short- and long-term outcomes following robotic esophagogastric cancer surgery using national U.S. registry data. More recently, Markar has pioneered work at the frontier of surgical intelligence, investigating the application of AI to intraoperative video analysis in robotic-assisted esophagectomy and developing scoping review frameworks to systematically evaluate AI-driven surgical video analytics. His attention to surgeon welfare is also evident in systematic reviews examining ergonomic strain in abdominal and thoracic surgery. Spanning over a decade and encompassing bariatric surgery, cancer surgery, and digital innovation, his body of work reflects a sustained commitment to improving surgical safety, precision, and outcomes through technology.
