About
Borja de Lacy is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical treatment of rectal cancer, particularly through the refinement and comparison of minimally invasive techniques. His primary research focus is on optimizing total mesorectal excision (TME) for mid and low-rectal adenocarcinoma, where he has pioneered comparative studies between transanal (TA-TME) and robotic (R-TME) approaches. His landmark 2018 multicenter matched comparison, which has garnered 93 citations, directly addressed the critical question of which technique yields superior resection quality. By systematically evaluating surgical outcomes, de Lacy has provided essential evidence guiding clinical decision-making for tumors below 10 cm from the anal verge. His contributions are pivotal in the ongoing debate between these two advanced platforms, helping surgeons worldwide choose the most effective approach for their patients. This work, alongside his broader portfolio, has positioned him as a key figure in the evolution of rectal cancer surgery, with his findings influencing both operative standards and future research directions in the field.
