About
Dr. Ann Hanly is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical approaches for complex pelvic malignancies. Her major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the comparative effectiveness of open, laparoscopic, robotic, and transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) techniques for rectal cancer. Her landmark 2020 network meta-analysis, cited 47 times, provides critical evidence on the safety and oncologic outcomes of these minimally invasive methods, helping to guide surgical decision-making. Dr. Hanly has also made pivotal contributions to the management of locally advanced or recurrent pelvic cancers, as demonstrated by her 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (26 citations) comparing minimally invasive to open pelvic exenteration. This work highlights her dedication to improving surgical outcomes for some of the most challenging cases. Through these high-impact syntheses, Dr. Hanly has established herself as a key voice in the evidence-based evolution of pelvic cancer surgery, directly influencing clinical practice and shaping future research directions.
