About

Dr. Christopher Foglia is a surgical innovator whose work bridges robotic surgery, education, and enhanced recovery protocols. His primary research focuses on developing structured training curricula for robotic general surgery, most notably through a landmark Delphi process study (22 citations) that identified essential curriculum elements—a foundational contribution to standardizing robotic surgical education. Dr. Foglia also advances perioperative care, evidenced by his work on a modified Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for colorectal procedures in diverse, urban populations (10 citations), demonstrating how evidence-based pathways can be adapted for real-world equity and access. Earlier in his career, he explored robotic applications in veterinary surgery, including a study on robotically assisted small intestinal strictureplasty in dogs (5 citations), showcasing his long-standing commitment to minimally invasive innovation. With over 37 total citations across these key works, Dr. Foglia’s impact lies in translating robotic technology into practical, teachable, and patient-centered surgical systems—making him a vital voice in the future of surgical training and recovery.
