About
Jitender Rohila is a colorectal surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgical techniques and oncological outcomes in rectal and colorectal cancer. Working from a tertiary colorectal cancer center, his work has substantially advanced the understanding and adoption of robotic and laparoscopic approaches to complex pelvic surgery, with a particular focus on pelvic exenteration, intersphincteric resection, and lateral pelvic lymph node dissection. His most cited work (40 citations) provides a rigorous comparative analysis demonstrating that minimally invasive pelvic exenteration achieves perioperative and three-year oncological outcomes comparable to open surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer — an important finding that supports broader adoption of these technically demanding procedures. His series of surgical video vignettes showcasing robotic posterior and anterior pelvic exenteration, bladder-sparing techniques, and novel vascular approaches have served as valuable educational resources for surgeons worldwide. He has also contributed meaningfully to understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted cancer care delivery, earning 24 citations for that observational study. Rohila's documentation of the evolution of robotic surgery in an Indian colorectal unit highlights his role in expanding minimally invasive oncological surgery beyond high-income settings, making his contributions both technically significant and globally relevant.
