About

Reza Mirnezami is a pioneering colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgery, robotics, and artificial intelligence. His research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic platforms in colorectal surgery and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Mirnezami’s major contributions include critically evaluating the real-world benefits of robotic colorectal surgery, as demonstrated in his highly cited systematic review (125 citations), which helped clarify whether robotics represents genuine progress or mere hype. He has also been a leading voice in envisioning the future of the field, co-authoring the influential perspective “Surgery 3.0, artificial intelligence and the next-generation surgeon” (84 citations), which explores how AI will transform surgical practice. His systematic review on robotic technologies in lower GI endoscopy (11 citations) further underscores his commitment to expanding robotic applications. Through these works, Mirnezami has shaped the conversation around surgical innovation, helping to define the next generation of surgical practice.
