About

Steffen Brisling is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, anastomotic safety, and surgical education. His research focuses on refining minimally invasive techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly through the use of robotic-assisted platforms. Brisling’s most impactful contribution is his investigation of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in robotic right colectomy, a topic that has garnered significant attention (40 citations) and has helped clarify how surgical approach influences postoperative recovery and perianastomotic perfusion. He has also advanced the use of indocyanine green fluorescent imaging for real-time anastomotic perfusion assessment during low-anterior resection, with a multicenter study (20 citations) addressing critical interobserver variability—a key step toward standardizing this technology. Beyond clinical outcomes, Brisling is committed to surgical training, having developed and validated simulation-based assessment tools for basic robotic skills (17 citations) and conducted comparative studies on novice surgeons’ suturing performance. His work not only pushes the boundaries of robotic colorectal surgery but also provides the evidence base needed to train the next generation of surgeons safely and effectively.
