About
Paris Tekkis is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical management of rectal cancer. His research centers on comparing and advancing minimally invasive techniques—specifically laparoscopic, robotic, and transanal mesorectal excision—to improve oncologic and patient outcomes. His landmark 2019 network meta-analysis, cited over 177 times, systematically evaluated these approaches for rectal cancer resection, providing critical evidence that guides surgical decision-making worldwide. Tekkis has also been instrumental in exploring robotic ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse and obstructed defecation, with a 2015 meta-analysis demonstrating its superiority over laparoscopy. Beyond comparative studies, he has advanced the role of robotics in complex pelvic exenteration surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer, addressing technical challenges in visualization and access. His work extends to healthcare delivery innovation, including a feasibility study on regional hub models for colorectal cancer services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and narrative reviews, Tekkis has generated high-impact evidence that directly influences surgical practice, training, and patient care in colorectal surgery.
