About
Nabila Bouazza is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for rectal cancer through minimally invasive techniques and enhanced recovery pathways. Her work centers on robotic and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME), particularly in high-risk populations such as overweight and obese patients. Bouazza’s major contributions include demonstrating that combining robotic proctectomy with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways significantly reduces costs and improves outcomes, as shown in her highly cited 2020 study (27 citations). She also leads the EUREKA collaborative, a multicentre cohort study evaluating clinical, oncological and functional outcomes after robotic rectal cancer surgery. Her research has advanced risk prediction modelling for complications like pelvic sepsis and anastomotic leak, and she developed a predictive model for positive circumferential resection margins—a critical factor in local recurrence and survival. With over 60 citations across her most influential papers, Bouazza’s work is shaping evidence-based protocols for robotic TME, making rectal cancer surgery safer and more cost-effective. Her ongoing trials and risk stratification tools are poised to become standard references in colorectal oncology.
