About
Dr. Michael L. Horsey is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on the adoption, outcomes, and equity of robotic surgery for colorectal diseases. His most impactful work, a 2020 study analyzing the learning curve and outcomes of over 500 robotic colorectal procedures (40 citations), provides a foundational benchmark for institutions adopting this technology. Dr. Horsey has been a leading voice on disparities in surgical care, notably demonstrating through the U.S. National Cancer Database that access to robotic surgery for colon cancer is unevenly distributed (21 citations). He has further advanced the field by performing rigorous, propensity score-matched comparisons of open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches for complex cases, including T4 colon cancers and rectal cancer in elderly patients (each with 14 citations). His work on robotic-assisted surgery for diverticulitis, including complicated cases, highlights his commitment to expanding minimally invasive options. Dr. Horsey’s contributions are critical for surgeons and policymakers aiming to improve patient outcomes while ensuring equitable access to cutting-edge technology.
