About
Haley C. Lanser is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the innovative robot-assisted NICE (Natural Orifice Intracorporeal Colorectal Anastomosis with Transrectal Extraction) procedure. Her major contributions lie in systematically evaluating the learning curve for this complex technique, demonstrating the path from initial adoption to mastery—a critical step for safe clinical implementation. Lanser has also broken new ground in health economics, providing the first cost analysis comparing the NICE procedure against open, laparoscopic, and traditional robotic approaches, revealing its potential economic benefits. Though her most-cited works are recent (2025), with 2 and 1 citations respectively, they represent foundational studies in a rapidly evolving field. Her work addresses two key barriers to adoption: technical proficiency and cost-effectiveness, making her a leading voice in the push toward scarless, natural orifice colorectal surgery. Lanser’s research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees interested in the future of robotic surgery and value-based care.
