About
Marta Jarlier is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for rectal cancer surgery, particularly through robotic and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME). Her major contributions center on comparing robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for sphincter-saving procedures, demonstrating that robotic TME offers comparable oncologic outcomes with potential advantages in precision and recovery. Her seminal 2018 study, with 79 citations, analyzed 400 consecutive patients, establishing robotic surgery as a viable, effective alternative. Jarlier also pioneered the integration of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways with robotic proctectomy, showing that this combined approach reduces costs and improves patient outcomes—a finding with significant clinical and economic implications. Her work on tailored management using highly-selective diversion for low colorectal anastomosis further underscores her commitment to optimizing postoperative care. With over 150 total citations, Jarlier’s research has shaped modern colorectal surgery protocols, making her a key figure in the shift toward robotic-assisted, patient-centered care.
