I am Dr. Petre Hoară, MD, PhD, a Senior General Surgeon at Spitalul Clinic "Sf. Maria" and a Lecturer at the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania. I earned my medical degree in 2003 and completed my PhD in Medicine in 2015, focusing on motility disorders in Barrett's esophagus. My clinical and academic work is centered on general, oncological, and advanced laparoscopic surgery, supported by subspecialty certifications in therapeutic endoscopy and ultrasonography. Today I am especially focused on esophageal and upper GI surgery. Throughout my career, I have integrated clinical excellence with a strong commitment to medical education and research. I am proud of my academic contributions to esophageal pathology, notably my published work on the treatment of Barrett's esophagus and the postoperative management of thoracic esophageal diverticula, alongside my role in the CEEX national research project studying gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. I am also coauthor in “Esophageal Pathology and Surgery”, published in 2018. I am very proud that I was awarded a prestigious European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) Fellowship Grant to train at the IRCAD-IHU University of Strasbourg, France. I am an active member of prominent scientific organizations, including the Romanian Society of Surgery (SRC), the EAES, IASGO, and ARCE.
