About
Halil Bulut is a leading figure in robotic and metabolic surgery, whose work bridges innovative surgical techniques with population-level health outcomes. His research primarily focuses on the intersection of bariatric surgery, colorectal cancer risk, and advanced robotic hernia repair. In a landmark umbrella review on behalf of TROGSS—The Robotic Global Surgical Society, Bulut synthesized evidence showing that metabolic and bariatric surgery may reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer in patients with obesity, a critical insight given obesity’s role as a modifiable risk factor for cancer. This work, already garnering early citations, underscores his impact on preventive oncology. Bulut also advances the field of robotic inguinal hernia repair, demonstrating through a rigorous retrospective cohort study and systematic review that robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair is safe and effective for patients over 70, challenging age-related surgical biases. His contributions are shaping clinical guidelines and expanding access to minimally invasive surgery for aging populations. With a growing citation footprint and leadership within a global surgical society, Bulut’s research is defining the future of robotic surgery and its role in combating obesity-related disease.
