About

Daniel Asklid is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on rectal tumor surgery and perioperative care, with a particular emphasis on comparing advanced minimally invasive techniques within optimized recovery frameworks. His research sits at the intersection of surgical oncology and evidence-based perioperative medicine, most notably investigating whether robotic surgery offers meaningful advantages over laparoscopic and open approaches for rectal cancer and adenoma resection. Asklid's most cited contribution, a 2018 cohort study examining robotic versus laparoscopic rectal tumor surgery in 224 patients, has garnered 33 citations and provided important comparative data on perioperative outcomes and compliance with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Building on this foundation, his 2021 multicenter retrospective cohort study — drawing on the Swedish ERAS database — extended this analysis to a larger, register-based population, accumulating 19 citations and addressing a recognized gap in the literature around robotic technique evaluation within standardized care pathways. Through these contributions, Asklid has helped clarify the real-world clinical value of emerging surgical technologies, offering surgeons and healthcare systems rigorous evidence to guide decisions about adopting costly robotic platforms. His work is particularly valuable for researchers and clinicians navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
