About
Paul Neary is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has centered on the safe, structured adoption and advancement of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. His major contributions lie in demonstrating that rigorous, stepwise training protocols can safely introduce robotic techniques, as shown in his highly cited 2018 study on the early Irish experience (36 citations). Neary has also pushed the boundaries of surgical oncology, leading a multicentre case series on robotic beyond total mesorectal excision for locally advanced rectal cancers—a technically demanding procedure that expands treatment options. His comparative research (9 citations) has consistently shown that robotic anterior resections offer advantages over laparoscopic approaches for rectal and rectosigmoid cancer. Notably, his foundational 2010 work on robotic-assisted laparoscopic colectomy (7 citations) helped establish the field by showing how robotic assistance compensates for human dexterity limits, reduces error rates, and eliminates the need for a trained assistant. Through these studies, Neary has shaped modern colorectal surgery, proving that robotic platforms can improve both perioperative outcomes and oncological safety.
