About
Paul Strombom is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cancer surgery. His work centers on optimizing surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, specifically comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches for colon and rectal cancers. Strombom’s most influential studies demonstrate that intracorporeal anastomosis during minimally invasive right colectomies significantly reduces incisional hernias and shortens hospital stays (68 citations). He has also provided critical evidence that lymph node yield—a key prognostic factor—is equivalent across open, laparoscopic, and robotic right colectomies, validating the oncologic safety of minimally invasive approaches (61 citations). Further, his comparative analysis of robotic versus open mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (14 citations) and his comprehensive review of evolving minimally invasive applications at a tertiary cancer center (7 citations) underscore his commitment to advancing surgical care. Through these high-impact studies, Strombom has established himself as a key voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotic and laparoscopic techniques, directly influencing how surgeons balance technical innovation with patient safety and long-term outcomes.
