About
McKenzie Bedra is a clinical researcher whose work centers on colorectal surgery outcomes, with a particular focus on the comparative effectiveness of open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches in community settings. Her most cited study, "Analysis of 10 years of open, laparoscopic, and robotic rectal surgeries in the community setting" (2023, 8 citations), addresses a critical gap in the literature: while academic centers have robust data supporting minimally invasive techniques, community hospitals—where the majority of colorectal surgeries occur—have been underrepresented. By analyzing a decade of real-world data, Bedra demonstrated that laparoscopic and robotic approaches can be safely and effectively performed outside academic hubs, offering patients access to less invasive options with comparable outcomes. This work has practical implications for surgical decision-making and healthcare equity. Her research bridges the divide between high-volume academic evidence and everyday clinical practice, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing conversation about surgical innovation and accessibility.
