About
Dr. Mehraneh D. Jafari is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the fields of robotic-assisted surgery and intraoperative perfusion assessment. Her work centers on improving surgical outcomes for rectal cancer and pelvic floor disorders through minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Jafari's landmark 2013 study on indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography, cited over 330 times, revolutionized how surgeons evaluate anastomotic blood flow during robotic rectal surgery, directly addressing the critical problem of postoperative leaks. She has also been instrumental in defining the national landscape of robotic colorectal surgery, with her highly cited 2013 analysis of over 300,000 cases demonstrating the safety and growing adoption of robotic approaches. Her expertise extends to robotic ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse and comparative studies of minimally invasive proctectomy for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Through these contributions, Dr. Jafari has not only established evidence-based protocols that reduce surgical complications but has also shaped the trajectory of colorectal surgery toward more precise, patient-centered care.
