| With: |  Mark A. Talamini, MD, FACS Professor of Surgery; Chairman, Department of Surgery; University of California, San Diego |
Dr. Mark Talamini, M.D., F.A.C.S., specializes in gastrointestinal disease including gastric, colon, and pancreatic cancer, and his
primary research interests include the biology of the pneumoperitoneum used in virtually all minimally invasive surgical procedures, new applications of minimally invasive surgery, and clinical aspects of
pancreatobiliary malignancies. He pioneered the use of robotic technology in the performance of laparoscopic procedures and is an acknowledged leader in the development and application of robotics and
minimally invasive surgery.
Dr. Talamini earned his undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University, and his doctor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1981. He trained in the Halsted General Surgery Service at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, completing his residency in 1987, and joining the faculty in 1988. With more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters to his credit, Dr. Talamini also holds a National Institutes of Health grant to study the basic biological mechanisms involved with minimally invasive surgery. He has held a number of leadership positions nationally. From 2008-2009, he served as President of the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), which represents a worldwide community of surgeons who can bring minimal access surgery, endoscopy and emerging techniques to patients. He also has held key roles with other organizations, including the American College of Surgeons and the Association for Academic Surgery. Dr. Talamini also serves on the editorial boards of several prominent surgical journals, and is the Editor for Surgical Endoscopy. Following are several press pieces related to the latest innovative surgery performed by Dr. Talamini and Dr. Santiago Horgan, Director, Minimally Invasive Surgery, UCSD Department of Surgery.
