About
Cigdem Benlice is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for hernia repair and colorectal cancer. Her most cited work, a 2020 study comparing laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (L-TEP) versus robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) inguinal hernia repair, has garnered 28 citations for its rigorous assessment of short- and long-term outcomes, providing critical evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Benlice has also made notable contributions to robotic surgery for colorectal malignancies, including a detailed technical guide on totally robotic autonomic nerve-preserving total mesorectal excisions, which emphasizes preserving pelvic function during rectal cancer surgery. Additionally, she has worked to standardize the robotic approach for complete mesocolic excision in right-sided colon cancer, publishing step-by-step protocols that enhance reproducibility and safety. Her work is characterized by a focus on optimizing patient outcomes through comparative effectiveness research and meticulous surgical technique. Benlice’s publications, though early in their citation trajectory, reflect her commitment to advancing robotic colorectal surgery and her role as a rising authority in the field, with her studies serving as essential references for surgeons seeking to refine their minimally invasive practice.
