About
Michael J. Stamos is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of robotic-assisted surgery. His work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex colorectal procedures, with a particular focus on improving patient outcomes in rectal cancer surgery and functional disorders. Stamos’s landmark 2013 study on indocyanine green fluorescence to assess anastomotic perfusion during robotic rectal surgery—cited over 330 times—provided a critical tool for reducing the devastating complication of anastomotic leak. He has also led large-scale, nationwide analyses comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches, including a highly cited 2013 study on robotic-assisted colorectal surgery trends and a 2015 comparison of total abdominal colectomy techniques. His work consistently demonstrates the safety and efficacy of robotic proctectomy for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma and explores novel applications like robotic ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse. With multiple papers exceeding 100 citations and a sustained focus on evidence-based surgical innovation, Stamos has been instrumental in defining the modern standard of care for minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
