About

Dr. Fayez A. Quereshy is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the treatment of colorectal cancer. His major contributions lie in rigorously comparing the clinical and economic outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches. His landmark 2015 study, cited 85 times, demonstrated that robotic rectal cancer surgery offers comparable outcomes to laparoscopy while potentially reducing conversion rates, providing crucial early evidence for the adoption of robotic platforms. Dr. Quereshy has further shaped the field by investigating the robotic learning curve, showing that baseline laparoscopic skill can predict early robotic proficiency—a finding that has informed surgical training curricula. He has also explored patient-centered outcomes, including body image and quality of life after surgery, and pioneered complex procedures like robotic simultaneous resection of rectal cancer and liver metastases. With a career dedicated to evidence-based surgical innovation, Dr. Quereshy’s work continues to guide clinical decision-making and improve recovery for colorectal surgery patients.
