Nicholas Skertich

Nicholas Skertich is an Assistant Professor at Rush Medical College, Rush University, affiliated with the MIS and Bariatric department. His research focuses on surgical outcomes, bariatric procedures, pediatric surgical innovations, and oncological challenges. Key areas include optimizing postoperative care, immunotherapy resistance in cancers like neuroblastoma and osteosarcoma, and vascular complications in surgical patients.

Major collaborations involve co-authors such as Borgia (neuroblastoma studies), Keutgen (adrenocortical carcinoma), and Torquati (bariatric trends). His work spans both clinical trials and exploratory molecular research, aiming to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practices. Recent studies address national prescribing trends for bariatric patients, pediatric craniofacial imaging techniques, and standardized protocols for surgical complications.

His research also examines Medicare population outcomes for vascular access devices and feeding tubes, emphasizing geriatric surgical care. No awards or grants are explicitly listed, but his prolific output across surgery and oncology highlights active research involvement.
