About
Dr. Suzanne Gillern is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes through minimally invasive techniques, particularly in complex and high-risk patient populations. Her most cited work, a 2020 study on ureteral injuries in colorectal surgery, critically examines how laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches impact this serious complication, accumulating 24 citations and underscoring the field’s need for safer operative strategies. She has also made notable contributions to geriatric surgery, as demonstrated by her 2019 cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample to evaluate outcomes following robotic proctectomy in elderly patients. This work addresses the growing challenge of safely operating on an aging population, suggesting that robotic approaches may offer advantages over traditional laparoscopy in complex pelvic procedures. Dr. Gillern’s research bridges the gap between technological innovation and patient safety, providing evidence that helps guide surgical decision-making for both routine and challenging cases. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees interested in the evolution of colorectal surgery, robotic technology, and perioperative care for older adults.
