GASTROINTESTINAL ROBOTIC SURGERY: DEVELOPMENTS AND PERSPECTIVES

Featuring: Vitaliy Y. Poylin, MD, and Jonah J. Stulberg, MD, PhD, MPH

Episode Summary

Minimally invasive robotic surgery has revolutionized gastrointestinal surgery by offering greater precision for complex procedures, resulting in improved patient outcomes. In this panel interview, Vitaliy Y. Poylin, MD, assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, and Jonah J. Stulberg, MD, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, expand on the utility of robotic-assisted minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. They review the latest advances and outcomes and share how Northwestern Medicine is bringing robotic surgery for diseases affecting the GI tract to the forefront of care. 
Dr. Poylin’s practice involves the operative treatment of disorders affecting the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus. He has a particular interest in the surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), colorectal cancer, and diverticulitis using minimally invasive robotic and sphincter-sparing techniques.
Dr. Stulberg is a General Surgeon and Health Services Researcher at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in the Divisions of Gastrointestinal and Endocrine Surgery.  He earned his Ph.D. in Health Services Research with a concentration on Epidemiology and Biostatistics and a Master’s in Public Health in Public Policy at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
