K.A. Greene

About

K.A. Greene is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work spans benign upper gastrointestinal, colorectal, and gynecologic surgery. Their major contributions focus on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex conditions, including achalasia, rectal prolapse, and pelvic floor disorders. Greene’s landmark prospective study on robotic Heller’s cardiomyotomy for achalasia (2023, 7 citations) demonstrated excellent early outcomes in a high-volume UK center, addressing critical challenges like esophageal mucosal perforation. Their research on robot-assisted rectopexy and colpopexy (2013, 3 citations) helped establish combined surgical approaches for rectal prolapse. Greene also investigates age-related surgical practices, notably examining adnexal surgery trends during hysterectomy for prolapse in women over 65 (2021, 6 citations). Their most recent work (2025) documents the first 200 cases of benign upper gastrointestinal robotic surgery in an NHS trust, providing crucial early outcome data as robotic adoption expands in the UK. With a growing citation impact and a focus on high-volume, real-world evidence, Greene is shaping the evidence base for robotic surgery in benign conditions, offering safer, more effective options for patients.
