About
Dr. Sarah Palmquist is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex gastrointestinal malignancies. Her most impactful work centers on the feasibility and outcomes of robotic en bloc multivisceral resection for locally advanced colorectal cancer, a procedure that removes the primary tumor along with adherent organs to achieve curative-intent resection. In her landmark 2024 study, she demonstrated that robotic multivisceral resection is not only technically feasible but also yields favorable perioperative and oncological outcomes, challenging traditional open surgical paradigms. This work has garnered 8 citations in its first year, reflecting its immediate influence on surgical oncology practice. Dr. Palmquist’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between aggressive oncologic resection and the benefits of robotic surgery—including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. By systematically evaluating survival benefits and complication rates, she provides critical evidence that expands the surgical armamentarium for patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Her research is shaping a new standard of care, offering hope for curative outcomes in cases once considered inoperable, and positioning her as a leading voice in the evolution of robotic colorectal surgery.
