Eren Uzun

About

Eren Uzun is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), particularly for esophageal cancer. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques and demonstrating the superiority of fully robotic approaches over conventional, hybrid, or open transthoracic methods. In his landmark study on 100 consecutive patients undergoing RAMIE with intrathoracic anastomosis (Ivor Lewis), Uzun reported promising postoperative and oncologic outcomes, earning 73 citations. He further showed that robotic and conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy yield better results than hybrid or open surgery (25 citations). Uzun has also meticulously detailed the technical nuances of the abdominal phase in full RAMIE (15 citations) and validated the safety and feasibility of end-to-side circular stapled anastomosis during the Ivor Lewis procedure (8 citations). His work has helped standardize and popularize RAMIE in Europe, contributing to reduced complications and improved recovery for patients. Uzun’s research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to master minimally invasive esophageal surgery.
