About

Dr. Sandrine Barbois is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and colorectal care, with a particular focus on pelvic floor disorders. Her research has been instrumental in advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for ventral rectopexy, a procedure used to treat rectal prolapse and obstructed defecation. In her landmark 2016 prospective study, Dr. Barbois demonstrated that robotic ventral rectopexy could be safely performed as a day-case procedure, achieving outcomes comparable to traditional laparoscopic approaches while potentially reducing hospital stays. This work, cited over 40 times, has helped shift clinical practice toward more ambulatory surgical models. Her subsequent 2018 study further validated the feasibility and safety of outpatient robotic rectopexy, contributing to a growing body of evidence that complex pelvic floor surgeries need not require prolonged hospitalization. Dr. Barbois’s contributions are particularly notable for their focus on patient-centered outcomes and healthcare efficiency, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern colorectal surgery. Her research continues to influence surgical protocols and training in robotic pelvic floor reconstruction.
