About
Chase Schlesselman is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in complex oncologic surgery, particularly within pancreatic and thoracic oncology. His most cited study, "New perspectives on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy," leverages the National Cancer Database to provide a contemporary analysis of robotic approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma—a malignancy with a daunting 10.8% five-year survival rate. This work, garnering 19 citations, contributes critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic platforms in treating one of the most challenging cancers. More recently, Schlesselman has explored postoperative complications in thoracic surgery, authoring a pilot study on anterior abdominal wall pseudohernias after anatomic lung resection. This investigation identifies incidence and risk factors for a poorly understood complication, highlighting his commitment to improving patient outcomes through meticulous clinical research. By bridging database-driven outcomes with nuanced surgical morbidity, Schlesselman’s work supports the evolution of safer, more effective oncologic surgery. His growing citation record and focus on high-impact, practice-informing questions mark him as a promising contributor to surgical oncology.
