About

Jared D. Carleton is a surgical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding of robotic and minimally invasive surgery, particularly in bariatric procedures. His research focuses on evaluating the clinical evidence, perioperative outcomes, and comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted techniques versus traditional laparoscopic approaches. Carleton's most influential work, "Robotic surgery: current perceptions and the clinical evidence" (2016), has garnered 94 citations, offering a critical synthesis of the gap between surgeon perceptions and empirical data—a foundational piece for clinicians navigating the adoption of robotic platforms. In his 2015 study on laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, he provided early, real-world evidence from a community hospital setting, demonstrating comparable safety profiles and highlighting the practical feasibility of robotic surgery outside academic centers. With over 135 combined citations, Carleton’s contributions have helped demystify the role of robotics in general surgery, offering data-driven insights that guide both surgical decision-making and future research into cost-effectiveness and long-term patient outcomes.
