About

Harmeet Kaur is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive cancer surgery. Her research centers on the application of robotic-assisted techniques for complex rectal and colorectal cancers, with a particular focus on improving oncological outcomes. Kaur’s major contributions include demonstrating the viability and safety of robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) at a major NCI-designated cancer center, a study that has garnered 53 citations and helped establish robotic proctectomy as a credible alternative to traditional approaches. She has also pioneered the Western perspective on robotic lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) following chemoradiation, addressing a critical gap in the literature with 18 citations. Most recently, her work on robotic *en bloc* multivisceral resection for locally advanced colorectal cancer (8 citations) showcases the expanding role of robotics in aggressive, curative-intent surgery. By consistently pushing the envelope on what can be achieved robotically—from standard resections to the most challenging multivisceral cases—Kaur is shaping the future of colorectal oncology, offering patients less invasive options without compromising cancer control.
