About
Dr. Susanne G. Warner is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary cancers. Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and oncologic efficacy of robotic approaches for complex procedures like distal pancreatectomy and liver resection, with her landmark study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (64 citations) providing critical evidence from the National Cancer Database. Dr. Warner has also pioneered the concept of "incision-dominant" robotic liver surgery, showing that select cases can achieve rapid recovery approaching outpatient status (44 citations). Her work on national trends (78 citations) and hospital factors influencing robotic adoption (20 citations) has shaped understanding of surgical technology dissemination. Notably, she has investigated surgeon ergonomics (14 citations), highlighting the physical toll of minimally invasive surgery. With over 375 total citations across her most-cited works, Dr. Warner's research has been instrumental in establishing robotic surgery as a safe, effective option in surgical oncology while advocating for both patient outcomes and surgeon well-being.
