About
Dr. Jennifer A. Kaplan is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with particular emphasis on robotic techniques and the impact of patient-specific factors like obesity. Her work has significantly advanced the field by addressing critical challenges in surgical safety and efficiency. Her most cited study, "Feasibility of injected indocyanine green for ureteral identification during robotic left-sided colorectal resections" (31 citations), pioneered a novel method to reduce ureteral injury risk during complex robotic procedures. She has also made substantial contributions to understanding how obesity affects surgical outcomes, as evidenced by her 30-citation study on the topic from the Surgical Care Outcomes Assessment Program (SCOAP) collaborative. Additionally, her research on prolonged operative time in minimally invasive colorectal surgery (17 citations) has helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for surgical duration. Dr. Kaplan is equally committed to surgical education, having developed and implemented a structured robotic colorectal curriculum for general surgery residents (14 citations). Her work on national patterns of surgery for stage II/III rectal adenocarcinoma further demonstrates her comprehensive approach to improving colorectal cancer care.
