About
Dr. Matthias Reeh is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic and minimally invasive visceral surgery, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for patients with colorectal, esophageal, and hepatopancreatic cancers. His research has been instrumental in comparing novel surgical techniques, most notably through his highly cited 2017 study comparing robotic low anterior resection to transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (42 citations). Dr. Reeh has also contributed a comprehensive systematic review analyzing robotic and transanal approaches in TME surgery (34 citations), providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. His work extends beyond colorectal surgery to include pioneering evaluations of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), where he compared hybrid and totally robotic techniques in a multicenter study (19 citations). Additionally, Dr. Reeh has explored the state of the art in advanced robotic surgery for liver, pancreas, and esophageal procedures, as well as robotic-assisted incisional hernia repair. Through his rigorous comparative studies and systematic reviews, Dr. Reeh has significantly advanced the evidence base for robotic surgery, helping to define its role and advantages across multiple challenging surgical domains.
