About

Rachel Hogen is a surgeon specializing in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic approaches to complex pancreatic disease. Her major contributions center on refining the technique for robotic cystgastrostomy and transgastric pancreatic debridement, a procedure used to manage pancreatic pseudocysts and necrotizing pancreatitis. In her most cited work (2020), she describes a novel robotic technique that combines ultrasound-guided thorough pancreatic debridement with a stapled cystgastrostomy, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This work, along with an accompanying surgical video, provides a detailed, reproducible roadmap for other surgeons, helping to advance the field of robotic pancreatic surgery. While her citation counts are modest (2 citations each), these publications represent foundational technical descriptions that are critical for the dissemination and adoption of new surgical methods. Hogen’s work is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to expand their robotic armamentarium for complex pancreatic cases, and her detailed operative videos serve as essential educational tools in surgical training programs.
