Scientific activity

I am a primary doctor of general surgery at the Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology “Prof. Dr. Octavian Fodor” and Head of the Surgery III course at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Iuliu Hațieganu” Cluj-Napoca.

I have participated in numerous training and advanced training courses at universities and institutes in Germany, the Netherlands, France and Italy, obtaining national and European competences in general ultrasonography, laparoscopic surgery – advanced techniques, hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, oncological surgery and interventional ultrasonography.
I have interests in research and treatment of digestive tumors, being a doctor of medical sciences, with more than 60 papers published in peer-reviewed journals (lead author on more than 30 articles and co-author on more than 30 articles), more than 140 papers presented at national and international congresses, 70 chapters in national and international books and 5 monographs. I am actively involved in research in the field, being coordinator of numerous clinical trials, member of national and European research grants, reviewer for 7 international journals and member of the editorial team of 10 international journals (including Surgery, World Journal of Surgical Oncology, Journal of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, World Journal of Gastroenterology).

Surgical activity

From a professional point of view, my activity has been materialized by performing more than 2100 surgeries as the main operator (2013-2021) in the field of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, oncological surgery, minimally invasive surgery and digestive surgery. During this period, we have introduced at IRGH a series of cutting-edge techniques in oncological and minimally invasive surgery, among which I mention VAC therapy since 2012, tumor cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), accessible to patients for the first time in a public (state) hospital in Romania as “standard of care” since 2015, the introduction of hybrid surgery (laparoscopic endoscopically assisted surgery -2015), laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of hepatocarcinomas (2015), total duodenopancreatectomy by total laparoscopic approach with preservation of splenic vessels and spleen (2016), central pancreatectomy with pancreatico-gastric anastomosis by total laparoscopic approach (2017), radiofrequency ablation of pancreatic tumours (2017), cephalic duodenopancreatectomy by total laparoscopic approach (2018) and ALPPS: Associated Liver Partition Vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy (2021).
