About
Monika A. Krezalek is a surgeon specializing in advanced, minimally invasive approaches to colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on robotic transanal techniques. Her work centers on expanding the boundaries of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) to treat complex rectal pathology, including large, low-lying polyps and select early rectal cancers. In her most-cited study, a single-institutional experience with robotic TAMIS, she demonstrated how robotic platforms enhance surgical precision, visualization, and ergonomics compared to conventional laparoscopic or open approaches. Her research underscores the value of hybrid robotic strategies for challenging cases, enabling complete local excision while preserving rectal function and avoiding more radical surgery. Though early in her career, Krezalek's contributions are already shaping the adoption of robotic platforms in colorectal surgery, with her work cited by peers seeking to refine transanal techniques. Her publications highlight a commitment to improving patient outcomes through innovation, offering a less invasive alternative for patients who might otherwise face major abdominal surgery.
