About
Yazan Ashouri is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and oncological outcomes. His research focuses primarily on robotic and laparoscopic approaches to bariatric and gastric cancer surgery, with a particular emphasis on comparative effectiveness and surgical education. Ashouri's most cited contribution, a 2022 systematic review of robotic surgery curricula, has garnered 21 citations and reflects his commitment to advancing how surgeons are trained in emerging technologies. His oncological work is equally significant: a propensity score-matched analysis of over 11,000 patients comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma (12 citations) provides some of the most robust real-world evidence on minimally invasive gastric cancer care in the United States. Drawing on large national databases such as the MBSAQIP, Ashouri has systematically examined operative time, patient safety, and outcomes across different surgical platforms and patient populations, including older adults undergoing bariatric procedures. Across his portfolio, his work challenges conventional assumptions about robotic surgery's limitations and continues to shape evidence-based practice in minimally invasive surgery, accumulating over 65 citations in just a few years.
