About
Dr. Ramon O. Minjares is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic platforms and natural orifice surgery. His major contribution is the development and clinical validation of the NICE procedure—Natural orifice IntraCorporeal anastomosis with transrectal Extraction—a novel approach for left-sided colorectal resections. This technique eliminates the need for abdominal incisions for specimen extraction, reducing postoperative pain and recovery time. His foundational 2018 pilot study on the NICE procedure, with 40 citations, established its safety and feasibility, while his subsequent 2019 work on diverticulitis (12 citations) expanded its application to inflammatory conditions. Dr. Minjares’ work has been instrumental in bridging robotic precision with scarless surgery, offering patients faster recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes. His contributions have been recognized through presentations at major surgical conferences and publications in high-impact journals, positioning him as a key innovator in the evolution of colorectal surgery toward less invasive, patient-centered approaches.
