Bertrand Trilling

About

Bertrand Trilling is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the domains of robotic and laparoscopic procedures for colorectal diseases. His work is centered on optimizing patient outcomes through comparative effectiveness research, with a major contribution being his leadership in the MIRCAST study (42 citations), which rigorously compared intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis techniques in right hemicolectomy, providing crucial evidence for surgical best practices. Trilling has been a pioneer in the field of robotic ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse, demonstrating its feasibility as a day-case procedure in a prospective study (41 citations) and championing its potential to become the gold standard. His early experience with ambulatory robotic rectopexy (7 citations) further underscores his commitment to reducing hospital stays and enhancing recovery. With a cumulative impact of over 100 citations, Trilling’s work is instrumental in shaping modern colorectal surgery, bridging the gap between innovation and practical, patient-centered care.
