About
Dr. Jennifer M. J. Schreinemakers is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping perioperative care and surgical oncology. Her work centers on two critical frontiers: optimizing patient recovery through prehabilitation and advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex rectal cancer. Her landmark 2023 study on multimodal prehabilitation, cited over 429 times, demonstrated that a structured program of exercise, nutrition, and psychological support before colorectal cancer surgery significantly reduces postoperative complications and enhances functional recovery—a paradigm shift in preoperative management. Dr. Schreinemakers is also a pioneer in robotic and transanal total mesorectal excision (TME), systematically comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches to improve functional outcomes and quality of life for rectal cancer patients. Her 2024 meta-analysis (16 citations) and ongoing EUREKA collaborative trial (5 citations) are defining best practices for robotic surgery. Notably, she has tackled high-risk populations, including patients with T4b tumors and those who are overweight or obese, developing risk models to predict positive circumferential resection margins. With a portfolio of highly cited, practice-changing work, Dr. Schreinemakers is driving the future of safer, more effective colorectal cancer care.
