About
Jessica Rahme is a colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic and laparoscopic approaches for colorectal cancer. Her major contributions center on comparing the operative and oncological outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic rectal resection and right hemicolectomy. In her highly cited 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis (25 citations), she synthesized evidence from multiple studies to evaluate whether robotic surgery offers meaningful clinical advantages over laparoscopy, addressing the critical question of cost versus benefit. Her 2021 retrospective cohort study using the Binational Colorectal Cancer Database (23 citations) further strengthened the evidence base for robotic right hemicolectomy. Rahme has also contributed technical innovations, including video vignettes demonstrating robotic abdominoperineal resection with posterior vaginectomy and sacrectomy, as well as the novel robotic anterior resection with transanal extraction (NICE procedure). Her work is essential for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the real-world benefits of robotic colorectal surgery, helping to guide clinical decision-making and future research in this rapidly evolving field.
