About

Dr. H. Hande Aydinli is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic ileocolic resection with intracorporeal anastomosis for Crohn’s disease—a procedure that reduces surgical trauma and improves recovery—and establishing that urgent robotic subtotal colectomy for severe acute ulcerative colitis yields perioperative outcomes comparable to traditional laparoscopic surgery. Her most-cited work, a 2020 study on robotic ileocolic resection for Crohn’s (38 citations), and a 2019 paper on robotic colectomy for ulcerative colitis (35 citations) have collectively shaped modern IBD surgical practice. Dr. Aydinli has also contributed technical innovations through video vignettes, including a novel robotic neo-rectopexy technique to repair neo-rectal prolapse after transanal total mesorectal excision. Her work bridges the gap between advanced robotics and IBD management, offering patients less invasive options with excellent outcomes. With a growing citation footprint, she is recognized as a leader in robotic colorectal surgery, particularly for challenging inflammatory conditions.
