About

Dr. Merve Karabork is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and laparoscopic colectomy. Her most cited study, "The da Vinci Xi system for robotic total/subtotal colectomy vs. conventional laparoscopy: short-term outcomes" (2019), has garnered 19 citations, establishing her as a key voice in comparative surgical outcomes. Dr. Karabork's major contribution lies in rigorously evaluating the da Vinci Xi robotic system against traditional laparoscopy, demonstrating its potential for improved short-term patient outcomes in complex colectomies. This research directly informs clinical decision-making, offering surgeons evidence-based insights into the benefits of robotic assistance, such as reduced recovery times and lower complication rates. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical surgical application, making her a trusted authority in the field. With a focused impact on surgical innovation, Dr. Karabork continues to shape the future of colorectal surgery, inspiring both students and peers to explore the frontiers of robotic-assisted procedures.
