About
Eren Esen is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic colorectal and gastrointestinal surgery. With a focused body of scholarship comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches across a range of complex procedures, Esen has made meaningful contributions to understanding how emerging surgical technologies can be optimally deployed in clinical practice. His most impactful work examines perioperative and oncological outcomes in rectal cancer surgery, with his comparative study of totally robotic versus totally laparoscopic rectal resections (2018, 27 citations) standing as his most widely referenced contribution. Esen has also advanced the evidence base for robotic proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis patients and investigated robotic complete mesocolic excision for the technically demanding transverse colon cancer — areas where rigorous outcome data have historically been sparse. His nationwide analysis of robotic technology adoption in Turkey (2018) reflects a broader interest in health systems-level innovation diffusion. Collectively accumulating over 130 citations, Esen's research helps surgeons navigate the evolving landscape of robotic platforms, including the da Vinci Xi system, across colorectal, gastric, and inflammatory bowel disease surgery — offering evidence particularly relevant to challenging patient populations such as those with obesity or following neoadjuvant treatment.
