About
Kate Lykke Lambertsen is a leading clinical researcher in minimally invasive colorectal and hernia surgery, with a primary focus on comparing robotic-assisted and laparoscopic techniques. Her work centers on the surgical stress response—the body’s physiological reaction to operative trauma—and how different surgical platforms influence patient recovery and outcomes. Lambertsen designed and led the landmark SIRIRALS randomized clinical trial, which directly compared the systemic inflammatory response in robot-assisted versus laparoscopic colon cancer surgery, providing critical evidence on the biological impact of robotic technology. Her findings, published in 2024 and already cited 31 times, challenge assumptions about robotic superiority by rigorously measuring objective biomarkers. She also spearheaded the ROLAIS trial, the first randomized study to compare robotic and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair, demonstrating her commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. With a growing citation record and a focus on patient-reported outcomes alongside clinical metrics, Lambertsen is shaping the future of surgical decision-making, helping surgeons and patients choose the best approach based on data rather than trends.
