About

Evan S. Glazer is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive abdominal surgery, with a particular focus on hepatectomy and pancreatectomy procedures. His work centers on understanding the clinical factors that influence surgical outcomes, especially the circumstances and consequences surrounding unplanned conversions from minimally invasive to open surgical approaches. Glazer's most impactful contributions leverage large-scale national databases, notably the ACS-NSQIP, to identify predictors of unplanned surgical conversions and assess their implications for patient outcomes. His 2017 analysis of minimally invasive hepatectomy, which has garnered 45 citations, provides surgeons with critical data-driven insights into when and why laparoscopic or robotic liver resections may require conversion to open surgery. Complementing this, his 2018 study on minimally invasive pancreatectomy — with 39 citations — extends this investigative framework to one of surgery's most technically demanding procedures. By translating complex outcomes data into actionable clinical guidance, Glazer's research helps surgical teams better anticipate risk, counsel patients, and refine procedural decision-making. His work is an important resource for surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize minimally invasive abdominal oncology practice.
