About
Patricia Tejedor is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of robotic oncologic surgery, with a particular focus on rectal cancer. Her work centers on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and oncological quality of advanced robotic platforms, including the novel CMR Versius system, and comparing them to traditional laparoscopic approaches. Tejedor has made pivotal contributions by demonstrating that robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) can improve survival outcomes and that robotic staplers offer significant advantages in rectal cancer surgery. Her meta-analyses and systematic reviews, which have garnered over 100 citations, provide robust evidence that robotic technology enhances surgical precision and postoperative outcomes. Notably, she has pioneered the use of robotic surgery for locally advanced T4 rectal cancer, proving its feasibility without compromising oncological standards. Tejedor is also at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence with robotic instruments, a forward-looking area with 6 citations already. Her leadership in the international PROCaRe study underscores her commitment to patient-reported outcomes, ensuring that surgical innovation translates into meaningful improvements in quality of life. Through her rigorous, evidence-based approach, Tejedor is not only advancing surgical technique but also setting new benchmarks for minimally invasive colorectal cancer care.
