About

Massarat Zutshi is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on surgical management of pelvic floor disorders, particularly rectal prolapse. Her work provides critical evidence comparing operative techniques, most notably through her 2018 study comparing resection rectopexy (RR) with ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR). This institutional review board–approved retrospective analysis of patients treated from 2009 to 2016 established that RR remains a viable, acceptable option—a finding that challenges shifting clinical preferences and offers surgeons evidence-based guidance for complex cases. Her 2017 investigation into ventral rectopexy for recurrent external rectal prolapse further demonstrates her commitment to addressing challenging patient populations, contributing 22 citations to the field. With these papers accumulating dozens of citations, Zutshi’s work directly informs surgical decision-making and patient outcomes in proctology. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees navigating the nuances of prolapse repair, as she systematically evaluates complication rates and recurrence to refine best practices. Through rigorous retrospective analyses, Zutshi continues to shape the standard of care in colorectal surgery.
