About

Teresa deBeche-Adams is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive surgery. Her research centers on robotic transanal surgery, total mesorectal excision, rectal neoplasia, and pelvic floor reconstruction — areas where she has emerged as an international thought leader and early adopter of transformative surgical techniques. Among her most influential contributions is her foundational description of robotic-assisted transanal surgery for total mesorectal excision (RATS-TME), published in 2013 and accumulating 96 citations, alongside her 2012 technique description for robotic transanal excision of rectal neoplasms, which has garnered 86 citations. These works helped establish the clinical framework for procedures now performed worldwide. Her 2015 single-institution series further validated these approaches across diverse applications, including complex fistula repair. Beyond rectal surgery, deBeche-Adams has expanded her expertise into pelvic organ prolapse, championing combined robotic ventral mesh rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy as a multispecialty solution for multicompartmental pelvic dysfunction. Her early adoption and evaluation of novel platforms like the Senhance® system underscores her commitment to advancing surgical innovation. Collectively, her published work reflects a career dedicated to improving patient outcomes through technical precision and courageous adoption of emerging technologies.
