OverviewAI-generated summary

Sonia T. Orcutt's research program focuses on surgical oncology, with a particular emphasis on gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers. Her work investigates patient outcomes, risk factors, and the application of novel technologies in surgical planning and care. Recent publications explore the use of virtual reality for preoperative planning in complex oncologic surgeries, aiming to increase surgeon confidence and potentially improve outcomes. Other research areas include adherence to venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, the impact of minimally invasive approaches on patients with functional limitations, and strategies for reducing hospital readmissions after colon cancer surgery. Dr. Orcutt also examines biases in predictive models used to identify high-risk patients for colorectal cancer readmission. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, 58 total publications, and 1,375 total citations. She collaborates with researchers across institutions, including Mario Schootman, Jonathan Laryea, Chenghui Li, and Jun Ying.
