About

Dr. Crisanto M. Torres is a leading acute care surgeon whose work is reshaping emergency general surgery through the integration of advanced robotic technology. His research focuses on developing and validating novel robotic surgery training curricula specifically designed for acute care surgical fellowships, bridging a critical gap in modern surgical education. Dr. Torres has been instrumental in demonstrating how robotic platforms can be safely and effectively incorporated into high-stakes emergency settings, traditionally dominated by open and laparoscopic approaches. His landmark 2023 paper on incorporating robotic training into acute care fellowships has garnered 38 citations, while his foundational work on the evolution of robotic acute care programs has been cited 23 times. These contributions highlight his role in pioneering quality improvement strategies that aim to reduce the disproportionate complications and mortality associated with emergency general surgery—a field encompassing over 850,000 annual U.S. operations. Dr. Torres’s work is not only advancing surgical technique but also establishing the educational frameworks necessary to train the next generation of acute care surgeons in minimally invasive, robotic-assisted procedures.
