Juan Wu

About

Juan Wu is a colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. Her research has made significant contributions to understanding the comparative outcomes of different surgical approaches, with a special emphasis on the role of enhanced recovery pathways. Wu's landmark studies, including her 2018 propensity score-matched comparisons of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis techniques for robotic-assisted right colectomy and sigmoidectomy, have each garnered 31 and 24 citations respectively, providing crucial evidence for optimizing surgical protocols. Her work on unplanned conversion-to-open robotic colorectal surgery, also with 31 citations, has been instrumental in identifying risk factors for adverse outcomes, helping surgeons better select patients for robotic approaches. Through her comparative analyses of regional and national database outcomes, Wu has contributed to the broader understanding of how surgical technique and perioperative care pathways influence patient recovery. Her research continues to shape evidence-based practices in colorectal surgery, offering valuable insights for surgeons seeking to improve patient outcomes through robotic-assisted approaches.
