Dr. Ky is an expert in robotic colon and rectal surgery, performing complex procedures that few other doctors in the world are able to perform. She is the first person in New York City to use a sacral nerve stimulator and one of the few people in New York City treating fecal incontinence. She has held a course teaching other physicians in pelvic floor disorders for the last 9 years Dr. Ky is specially trained in minimally invasive surgery with transrectal extraction and anastomosis which leaves the patient with almost no abdominal incisions. She also specializes in transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), a technique which allows some rectal tumors low in the rectum to be removed through the anus, possibly avoiding the need for a permanent stoma and abdominal surgery.
