About

Anna Przedlacka is a surgical researcher advancing the frontiers of robotic surgery in colorectal and emergency general surgery. Her work centers on optimizing oncologic outcomes for rectal cancer, particularly through the study of circumferential resection margin (CRM) positivity after robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (TME). Her 2025 retrospective cohort study, which has garnered early citations, developed a predictive risk model for positive CRM—a critical factor linked to local recurrence and survival. She is also pioneering the application of robotic techniques for beyond TME procedures in locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer, as outlined in her 2024 systematic review protocol. Expanding the scope of robotic surgery, Przedlacka’s 2025 case-matched comparison evaluated the safety and feasibility of robotic emergency general surgery during its adoption phase at a tertiary centre, challenging the notion that robotics is limited to elective settings. With her research accumulating over 5 citations across these key publications, Przedlacka is establishing herself as a forward-thinking contributor to minimally invasive surgical innovation, bridging the gap between elective precision and emergency care while improving risk stratification for complex rectal cancer patients.
