About
Amanda Nikolic is a surgical oncologist whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on rectal cancer. Her key research areas include robotic surgery, transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME), and the development of hybrid surgical approaches that optimize oncologic outcomes while reducing patient morbidity. In her most-cited study, she demonstrated the feasibility and safety of combining a hybrid abdominal robotic approach with conventional TaTME, reporting promising outcomes from a single institution. This work has been instrumental in advancing the integration of robotic platforms into complex pelvic surgery, offering a bridge between traditional laparoscopic techniques and emerging transanal methods. With 18 citations, this paper has already influenced clinical practice and sparked further investigation into tailored surgical strategies for rectal cancer. Nikolic’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical, patient-centered focus, and she is recognized as a rising voice in the push toward more precise, less invasive cancer care. Her research continues to guide surgeons in refining techniques that balance radical oncologic resection with functional preservation.
