About
Yolanda Quijano is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and comparative surgical outcomes. With a body of research accumulating over 420 citations, she has established herself as a leading voice in evaluating robotic-assisted approaches across multiple abdominal and colorectal procedures. Her scholarship spans pancreatic surgery, rectal cancer resection, colectomy, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor removal, consistently benchmarking robotic techniques against both laparoscopic and open surgical methods. Among her most influential contributions is her 2014 comparative study on robotic distal pancreatectomy (67 citations), one of the early rigorous assessments of robotic pancreatic surgery against established approaches. Equally notable is her 2015 report on the first totally robotic ALPPS procedure (55 citations), a landmark technical achievement in complex hepatic surgery. Quijano has also made substantial contributions to the health economics of surgical innovation, producing multiple cost-effectiveness analyses that address a critical gap in the robotic surgery literature. Her work on rectal cancer and colectomy further demonstrates the breadth of her expertise. Across her career, Quijano's research has provided surgeons and healthcare systems with the rigorous evidence needed to make informed decisions about adopting advanced surgical technologies.
