About
Jimena Alcocer-Barrios is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the innovative NICE (Natural Orifice Intracorporeal Colorectal Anastomosis with Transrectal Extraction) procedure. Her major contributions lie in systematically evaluating the learning curve and economic viability of robot-assisted natural orifice surgery, demonstrating that this approach can achieve mastery while offering potential cost benefits compared to traditional open, laparoscopic, and robotic methods. Her 2025 study on the learning curve provides critical benchmarks for surgeons adopting this complex technique, while her cost analysis challenges assumptions about the economic feasibility of natural orifice resection. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention, with her most-cited papers accumulating 2 and 1 citations respectively. These contributions are shaping the future of colorectal surgery by making advanced robotic procedures more accessible and economically sustainable, positioning Alcocer-Barrios as an emerging leader in surgical innovation and outcomes research.
