About
Dr. Meryna Manandhar is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally reshaped perioperative care in minimally invasive surgery. Her primary research areas focus on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), telemedicine integration, and optimizing patient outcomes following colorectal cancer procedures. Dr. Manandhar is best known for her landmark "RecoverMI trial," a randomized clinical study published in 2019 that has garnered 78 citations. This pivotal work demonstrated that combining minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery with an accelerated, telemedicine-enhanced recovery protocol significantly reduces hospital length of stay and improves patient-reported outcomes without increasing complications. Her contributions have established a new standard for postoperative care, proving that remote monitoring can safely accelerate recovery and reduce healthcare costs. Beyond this trial, Dr. Manandhar has been a vocal advocate for patient-centered surgical innovation, frequently publishing on the intersection of technology and recovery pathways. Her research has been instrumental in shifting clinical practice toward more efficient, evidence-based protocols, making her a highly influential figure in modern colorectal surgery and perioperative medicine.
