About
Rosa Asbert Sagasti is a leading clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative medicine, surgical optimization, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Her most significant contribution is the landmark 2023 study on multimodal prehabilitation for colorectal cancer surgery, which has garnered over 429 citations and reshaped preoperative care protocols. This work demonstrated that a structured program of exercise, nutritional support, and psychological preparation before surgery can substantially reduce postoperative complications and preserve functional capacity—challenging the traditional focus on postoperative recovery alone. Dr. Sagasti’s research has helped establish prehabilitation as a standard of care in colorectal surgery, influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. Her findings are particularly impactful for patients facing major abdominal procedures, offering evidence that proactive preparation improves outcomes and quality of life. Through rigorous clinical trials and translational work, she continues to advance the field of surgical optimization, making her a pivotal figure in modern perioperative medicine and a trusted voice for clinicians seeking to improve patient resilience before surgery.
