About

Jan Brujevic is a leading surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the comparative safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques, particularly in abdominal surgery. His most cited study, “Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Conventional Laparoscopic vs Robot-Assisted Abdominal Surgery” (2025, 11 citations), provides critical evidence that robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS). This finding challenges the assumption that technological advancement always yields superior patient outcomes, offering a nuanced perspective on surgical decision-making. By rigorously comparing these two widely used approaches, Brujevic’s research has significant implications for perioperative care and risk stratification, helping surgeons and anesthesiologists optimize patient selection and reduce respiratory morbidity. His work underscores the importance of evidence-based evaluation of emerging surgical technologies, making a valuable contribution to the fields of anesthesiology, critical care, and surgical safety.
