About
Shadin Ghabra is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work is reshaping minimally invasive surgical approaches, particularly in the management of diverticulitis. Her most notable contribution is the development and refinement of the NICE procedure—a robotic natural orifice intracorporeal anastomosis with transrectal extraction. This technique, detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (12 citations), eliminates the need for abdominal incisions by performing the anastomosis inside the body and extracting the specimen through the rectum, dramatically reducing postoperative pain, recovery time, and scarring. Ghabra’s research sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, enhanced recovery protocols, and patient-centered outcomes, demonstrating that complex colorectal resections can be performed with unprecedented precision and minimal invasiveness. Her work has influenced surgical training programs and sparked broader adoption of natural orifice surgery in colorectal care. With a growing citation impact that reflects her role as a thought leader, Ghabra continues to push boundaries in surgical innovation, advocating for techniques that prioritize both oncologic safety and quality of life. Her achievements mark her as a rising authority in the next generation of minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
