About

Dr. Cagla Eskicioglu is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for complex patient populations. Her primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic colorectal surgery, with a special emphasis on optimizing outcomes for patients with obesity. Dr. Eskicioglu’s major contributions include comprehensive systematic reviews and meta-analyses that compare surgical platforms, such as her 2022 study on the Senhance Surgical System in colorectal surgery (28 citations), which provided critical insights into emerging robotic technologies. Her 2025 meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic colorectal surgery for obese patients (8 citations) addresses a key clinical challenge, offering evidence-based guidance for preoperative planning. By synthesizing data on operative difficulty and postoperative recovery, her work directly informs surgical decision-making for high-risk populations. Dr. Eskicioglu’s research has been instrumental in shaping modern colorectal surgery protocols, and her continued focus on comparative effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes underscores her commitment to improving surgical care. Her contributions are widely recognized, making her a valuable resource for students and clinicians seeking to understand the evolving landscape of minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
