About
Dr. E.C.J. Consten is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive approaches to complex pelvic surgery. Her primary research focuses on robotic-assisted techniques for rectal cancer and multi-compartment pelvic floor disorders, areas where she has made landmark contributions. Dr. Consten is best known for her groundbreaking 2014 report on the first robotic transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer, a procedure that addressed the technical limitations of earlier single-port approaches by enhancing manoeuvrability in the narrow pelvic cavity. This seminal work, cited over 50 times, established a new paradigm in sphincter-preserving surgery. She further demonstrated her impact through a prospective cohort study on robot-assisted sacrocolporectopexy for pelvic organ prolapse, evaluating functional and sexual outcomes—a critical but often overlooked aspect of reconstructive surgery. By integrating robotic precision into transanal and pelvic floor procedures, Dr. Consten has not only improved surgical outcomes but also expanded the boundaries of what is achievable in colorectal and pelvic medicine, making her a leading figure in the field.
