About
Gemma Ainsworth is a leading clinical researcher in colorectal surgery, with a focused expertise in intraoperative imaging and the prevention of postoperative complications. Her most significant contribution is the design and leadership of the landmark IntAct trial, an unblinded randomised controlled trial investigating the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography to reduce anastomotic leaks in rectal cancer surgery. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 29 citations, directly addresses a critical gap in surgical evidence, providing high-quality data on the safety and efficacy of a technique that could fundamentally change standard practice. By tackling one of the most feared complications in colorectal surgery, Ainsworth’s research has immediate translational impact, offering surgeons a real-time tool to improve patient outcomes. Her rigorous, practice-changing studies position her as a key voice in the push toward evidence-based, technology-enhanced surgical care, making her work essential reading for any clinician or researcher focused on improving the safety of gastrointestinal surgery.
