About

Abhineet Uppal is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on the adoption, outcomes, and equitable access of minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating that the rise of robotic surgery is directly driving increased utilization of minimally invasive approaches, with his 2025 paper on this trend garnering 13 citations. Uppal has also made critical contributions to understanding surgical disparities, revealing significant insurance-based barriers to robotic surgery access in his highly cited 2023 study (21 citations). His research extends to complex surgical scenarios, including the safety and feasibility of robotic en bloc multivisceral resections for advanced colorectal cancer (8 citations), and he has systematically evaluated outcomes across different body mass index subgroups for colon and rectal cancer surgery. Through these studies, Uppal has helped establish the oncologic safety and perioperative benefits of robotic surgery while highlighting persistent inequities in its delivery. His work is widely cited by surgeons and health services researchers, shaping both clinical practice and policy discussions around surgical innovation and access.
