About

Dr. Elizabeth R. Raskin is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted approaches for complex gastrointestinal diseases. Her major contributions center on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic surgery for diverticular disease and Crohn’s disease, demonstrating that robotic-assisted ileocolic resections and sigmoidectomies can achieve outcomes comparable to or better than traditional laparoscopic methods. Her work has been cited over 78 times, with her 2019 propensity-matched analysis of sigmoidectomies for diverticular disease (32 citations) and her 2018 study on robotic-assisted ileocolic resection for Crohn’s disease (28 citations) being particularly influential. Dr. Raskin also investigates how patient factors, such as severe obesity, impact surgical outcomes, as shown in her 2022 study on colectomy for chronic diverticulitis. Her research has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable option for complicated diverticular disease, reducing complications and improving recovery. A respected voice in colorectal surgery, Dr. Raskin continues to shape best practices for minimally invasive approaches, making her work essential reading for surgeons and trainees interested in the future of robotic-assisted gastrointestinal surgery.
