Maitre de Conférences in 1986 then Professor of Anatomy in 1990 before becoming Professor of Surgery in 1992 at the University of Paris VII then at the University of Paris Descartes (today Paris Cité). In 2010, he became a permanent member of the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique (ISIR), at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Sorbonne Université), and a member of Labex CAMI, affiliated to INSERM and CNRS.
Former head of the digestive pathology department at the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris, where, in 1992, he created the first multidisciplinary department in France to bring together all digestive pathology specialists in a single service. This team is recognized as a center of excellence for the management of major pathologies using innovative techniques, notably complex minimally invasive procedures. After esophagus, colon and rectum, the focus has been on hepato-pancreato-biliary pathology (more than 1,000 hepatectomies and 450 laparoscopic pancreatectomies).
Author or co-author of over 643 publications on Google Scholar, cited 19316 times, index h 64. He has given almost 800 scientific lectures and readings in his career, and edited 130 videos on surgical techniques.
President of the Société Française de Chirurgie Endoscopique (SFCE) until 2014 and member of the CNU of digestive surgery for 12 years. Advisor to Health Minister Bernard Kouchner, he helped draft the first bioethics law with Pr René Fridman. Honorary member of Japan Broncho-Esophagological society (JBES), of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS), of the Japan Surgical Society (JSS) - a rare appointment for a foreigner. Speaker as “Liver Living Legend” in New York at the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) congress.
In 2019, founder of the startup MoonSurgical, based on work carried out at ISIR on a cobot robot called MAESTRO, already in the operating room with nearly 1,000 patients operated on.
Editor Emeritus of AIS Journal (Artificial Intelligence Surgery).
