Madhulika Varma

Madhulika Varma specializes in complex pelvic oncologic surgery for locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer, including pelvic exenteration and en bloc resections requiring multidisciplinary reconstruction. Her research has examined outcomes of extended pelvic resections for locally advanced primary and recurrent rectal cancer, characterizing R0 resection rates, morbidity, functional outcomes, and long-term survival. She has contributed to developing pelvic floor and perineal reconstruction techniques after abdominoperineal resection and exenteration that reduce wound complications and improve functional recovery. Her work on multidisciplinary pelvic tumor board approaches to locally advanced rectal cancer has informed treatment planning integrating radiology, medical oncology, and reconstructive surgery for complex pelvic malignancies.
