About

Bradford Sklow is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes and cost-effectiveness in complex pelvic procedures. His most cited work, a 2020 study on the cost-effectiveness of surgical approaches to proctectomy, has garnered 13 citations and highlights his commitment to evidence-based surgical decision-making. Sklow’s major contributions lie in evaluating the economic and clinical trade-offs between open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques for rectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease surgeries. By integrating health economics with surgical practice, he provides critical insights that help hospitals and surgeons balance patient recovery, complication rates, and resource allocation. His work is particularly influential in shaping protocols for minimally invasive proctectomy, where he advocates for patient-specific selection criteria. Beyond this flagship study, Sklow has contributed to guidelines on perioperative care and anastomotic leak prevention. His research is a valuable resource for surgeons and trainees navigating the evolving landscape of colorectal surgery, demonstrating how rigorous cost analysis can improve both patient outcomes and healthcare sustainability.
