About

Zeljka Jutric is a surgical oncologist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic and hepatobiliary procedures. Her most-cited contribution, a 2017 study on robotic total pancreatectomy with splenectomy, details the technical feasibility and perioperative outcomes of this demanding operation, demonstrating that robotic approaches can achieve safe, reproducible results in high-risk settings. With 16 citations, this paper has helped establish benchmarks for robotic pancreatic surgery, influencing how surgeons approach total gland removal while preserving oncologic principles. Jutric’s research addresses critical gaps in surgical oncology, particularly in optimizing patient recovery and reducing complications through precision robotics. Her work is notable for its focus on translating advanced technology into practical, evidence-based protocols, making her a key voice in the evolution of pancreatic cancer surgery. For students and researchers, Jutric exemplifies how rigorous technique-focused studies can drive clinical adoption and improve outcomes in one of the most challenging fields in surgery.
