About
Michael Phelan is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in colorectal and urologic oncology. His most cited study, "Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Abdominoperineal Resections in Patients With Rectal Cancer" (2015, 82 citations), provides critical comparative data on surgical approaches for rectal cancer, helping to guide clinical decision-making by evaluating outcomes across open, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. This work has been influential in shaping evidence-based practice for abdominoperineal resection. More recently, Phelan has contributed to the prevention of ureteral strictures in robotic intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion, as detailed in his 2022 study co-authored with Shu Wang and M. Minhaj Siddiqui. This multi-modal intervention addresses a significant complication in urologic reconstruction, demonstrating his commitment to improving patient outcomes through technical innovation. Phelan’s research bridges colorectal and urologic surgery, with a clear emphasis on robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His work is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking to understand the comparative effectiveness of modern surgical techniques, and his findings continue to inform best practices in complex oncologic resections.
