About

Metin Keskin is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in minimally invasive colectomy, particularly for right-sided colon cancer. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of how surgical technique—open, laparoscopic, or robotic—affects both short-term recovery and long-term complications. A major contribution is his demonstration that intracorporeal anastomosis during minimally invasive right colectomy reduces incisional hernia rates and shortens hospital stays, a finding published in 2020 that has garnered 68 citations. Keskin also conducted pivotal research comparing lymph node yield across surgical approaches, showing that technique influences oncologic adequacy, with his 2017 study cited 61 times. His 2016 investigation into incisional hernias after laparoscopic versus robotic right colectomy (41 citations) further solidified his expertise in postoperative outcomes. By systematically evaluating technical nuances, Keskin has provided evidence-based guidance that helps surgeons minimize complications while maintaining oncologic standards. His work is essential reading for clinicians seeking to refine their minimally invasive colorectal practice.
