About
Ben L. Zarzaur is a prominent trauma and acute care surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the understanding of surgical outcomes, particularly in minimally invasive colectomy. His most-cited work, a 2016 analysis using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database, compared laparoscopic and robotic colectomy, demonstrating that robotic approaches offer comparable safety profiles while highlighting key differences in operative time and cost—a study that has garnered 92 citations and shaped clinical decision-making. Beyond this, Zarzaur’s contributions span trauma epidemiology, post-injury outcomes, and the optimization of surgical care for critically ill patients. His research often leverages large national datasets to identify disparities and improve patient safety, with his work collectively cited over 1,000 times. A dedicated educator and researcher, he has also been recognized for his leadership in surgical quality improvement and trauma systems. Zarzaur’s ability to translate complex data into actionable clinical insights makes his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers aiming to refine operative techniques and enhance recovery after major abdominal surgery.
