Professor Lacy and his team are global pioneers in the use of innovative minimal invasive technology in gastrointestinal cancer and metabolic syndrome and morbid obesity. He published in 2002 the first randomized study to prove the safety and feasibility of the laparoscopic approach vs the open approach for the treatment of digestive cancer, with excellent oncologic results. Professor Lacy’s team were also the first to perform a Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) by Transanal Approach on a patient in 2009, and have since improved the technique by using 3D imaging. Professor Richard J. Heald, the creator of the TME, the gold standard treatment in rectal cancer, supports this new approach as providing better oncologic outcomes than the conventional approach. His main areas of interest are currently Transanal ColoRectal Endoscopic Surgery (TACRES) (taTME, Transanal Proctectomy in IBD & Transanal Approach in Hartmann’s Reversal), the robotic approach to colorectal and esophageal pathologies and the use of the latest technologies and new surgical innovations such as the use of indocyanine green in all its applications (vascular perfusion, lymphatic mapping, metastasis identification….), visualization in 3D and currently in 4k. Professor Lacy participates in several international working groups, such as the international registry of transanal TME (led by Dr. Roel Hompes). He has performed over 400 taTME cases to date, and has chaired numerous TaTME courses all over the world. He is also member of international multidisciplinary working groups for bariatric surgery, type 2 diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome.
