About

Dr. I.V. Stepanyuk is a leading specialist in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a focused research program advancing video-assisted technologies. Their major contributions lie in the comparative analysis of laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques for colon and rectal procedures. In their 2018 study, Dr. Stepanyuk analyzed immediate outcomes from 286 interventions (256 laparoscopic, 30 robot-assisted), demonstrating the clinical viability of these approaches, with 81.46% of operations performed for colorectal cancer. Earlier work in 2016 examined 133 cases (117 laparoscopic, 16 robotic), covering resections for cancer, diverticular disease, and reconstructive procedures. These studies provide critical data on short-term results, helping to refine surgical protocols and patient selection. While citation counts are currently modest, Dr. Stepanyuk’s work represents foundational clinical evidence in the adoption of robotic assistance in colorectal surgery, a rapidly evolving field. Their research at the NMSC N.I. Pirogov contributes to the growing body of knowledge that informs best practices for surgeons transitioning from traditional laparoscopy to robotic platforms, ultimately aiming to improve patient recovery and surgical precision.
