About

Miguel Burch is a surgeon-scientist whose research bridges surgical oncology, acute care surgery, and the innovative use of technology to improve patient outcomes. His most influential work, cited over 150 times, focuses on the use of wearable activity monitors to objectively assess postoperative ambulation, demonstrating a direct link between daily step counts and reduced length of stay after major surgery—a finding that has the potential to transform recovery protocols. In the realm of surgical oncology, Burch has made significant contributions to the management of adrenocortical carcinoma, where his studies on the value of lymphadenectomy and the impact of operative approach and case volume on achieving negative resection margins have provided critical evidence for optimizing surgical strategies. He has also been a pioneer in expanding the role of robotic surgery, showing that incorporating robotic cholecystectomy into an acute care surgery practice is both feasible and effective, even in high-acuity, nonelective settings. With a career marked by high-impact publications and a focus on translating data into actionable clinical improvements, Burch’s work continues to shape modern surgical practice and patient care.
