About

Miguel F. Cunha is a surgeon-researcher at the forefront of sustainable surgery and minimally invasive techniques for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). His work critically examines the environmental footprint of abdominal surgery, with a landmark 2025 systematic review—already garnering 14 citations—comparing the carbon impact of laparotomy, laparoscopy, and robotics. This research positions him as a key voice in the emerging "green surgery" movement, helping to guide clinical choices toward more sustainable practices. Cunha also contributes to the evidence base for robotic versus laparoscopic approaches in IBD, co-authoring a 2024 meta-analysis that informs surgical decision-making in this complex patient population. Beyond original research, he has reported on major international conferences, including the European Society of Coloproctology’s 2021 virtual meeting, demonstrating his engagement with the global surgical community. With a focused portfolio that bridges environmental sustainability and advanced minimally invasive surgery, Cunha is shaping a more responsible, evidence-driven future for colorectal and general surgery.
