About

Danielle Craigg is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive gastrointestinal and oncologic surgery. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic techniques for complex procedures, particularly in pancreatic, colorectal, and foregut surgery. Dr. Craigg’s most cited work, “Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy Is the Future: Here and Now” (50 citations), is a landmark study that validated the safety and efficacy of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy by comparing outcomes against national benchmarks, demonstrating that robotic approaches can match or exceed traditional standards. She has also made significant contributions to improving patient quality of life, as seen in her work on sexual and urinary outcomes following robotic rectal surgery (34 citations), addressing critical but often overlooked aspects of recovery. Additionally, her comparative study on laparoendoscopic single-site versus robotic “redo” hiatal hernia repair (10 citations) provides valuable guidance for managing complex revisional foregut cases. Through these contributions, Dr. Craigg is not only advancing surgical precision but also championing a future where complex operations are less invasive and more patient-centered.
