About
Dr. Milad Fahim is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular focus on robot-assisted and laparoscopic surgery. His major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the learning curve and oncological safety of robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (TME). In a pivotal 2023 multicenter study, Dr. Fahim and colleagues assessed procedural, pathological, and efficiency outcomes across initial cases, providing critical evidence on the number of procedures needed to achieve proficiency—work that has already garnered 28 citations. He also led the SPONGE trial, a randomized clinical trial comparing a novel retractor sponge to the traditional Trendelenburg position in laparoscopic sigmoid and rectal cancer surgery, demonstrating his commitment to improving perioperative outcomes and patient recovery. Additionally, his 2022 multicenter cohort study on local recurrence rates after robot-assisted TME offers vital safety data for centers adopting this technology. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Fahim is shaping best practices in colorectal surgery, helping surgeons and institutions implement robotic techniques with greater confidence and precision.
