About
Miquel Kraft is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive colorectal and hepatopancreatic surgery, with particular expertise in robotic, laparoscopic, and transanal operative techniques. His work centers on comparative effectiveness research, consistently employing rigorous propensity score-matched, multicenter study designs to evaluate surgical approaches across European cohorts. Kraft has made notable contributions to the understanding of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, with his 2024 multicentre comparison of robotic, laparoscopic, and transanal TME already accumulating 24 citations. His sustained involvement in the MERCY study series has illuminated key predictors and operational factors — including the impact of operative duration — that shape outcomes in minimally invasive right colectomy. He has also advanced technical standardization in the field, publishing detailed step-by-step descriptions of robotic tailgut cyst resection and intracorporeal anastomosis techniques, helping translate complex procedures into reproducible protocols. Beyond colorectal surgery, Kraft has extended his comparative lens to pancreatic surgery, contributing to the ROBOCOSTES trial examining cost-effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. With over 100 cumulative citations across recent publications, his research is shaping evidence-based practice in minimally invasive abdominal surgery.
