About
Dr. Rasa Zarnegar is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive robotic surgery and endocrine disorders. Her research focuses on advancing surgical techniques for adrenal, pancreatic, and foregut diseases, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted approaches. Dr. Zarnegar’s landmark study on robotic-assisted adrenalectomy (188 citations) demonstrated significant advantages over traditional laparoscopic methods, establishing a new standard in adrenal surgery. Her contributions to managing hypertension in primary aldosteronism (51 citations) have been critical in understanding this common reversible cause of hypertension. She has also made substantial impacts in pancreatic surgery, with her work on robotic distal pancreatectomy (43 citations) showing improved perioperative outcomes. Dr. Zarnegar’s expertise extends to reoperative anti-reflux surgery, where she has shown that robotic approaches can achieve low morbidity and high symptom resolution (26 citations). Her comprehensive analysis of 303 consecutive robotic adrenalectomies (41 citations) identified key risk factors for complications, further refining surgical safety. Through her innovative research and high-impact publications, Dr. Zarnegar has become a leading authority in robotic endocrine and foregut surgery, shaping modern surgical practice.
