About
Dr. Sanda Tan is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic colorectal surgery. Her primary research focuses on complex pelvic reconstructions, particularly the management of rectovesical fistulas—a challenging complication often arising from prior pelvic surgery or radiation. Dr. Tan’s major contribution is the development and refinement of a combined anterior and posterior robotic approach with omental flap interposition for repairing these fistulas, a technique that enhances visualization and precision while minimizing patient morbidity. Her seminal paper on this method, published in 2014, has garnered 2 citations, serving as a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic approaches to complex pelvic pathology. Beyond this, Dr. Tan’s work emphasizes the integration of advanced technology to improve surgical outcomes and patient quality of life. Her dedication to teaching and innovation makes her a respected figure in colorectal surgery, inspiring the next generation of surgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive care.
