About

Joshua Franklyn is an emerging surgical researcher whose work is shaping the future of robotic surgery training and implementation in the United Kingdom. His research centers on robotic colorectal surgery, surgical education, and structured training programme development — areas of growing significance as robotic platforms become increasingly central to modern surgical practice. Franklyn's most notable contributions address a critical gap in surgical training: the exclusion of junior trainees from robotic surgical education. His pilot scheme for training specialist trainees in robotic colorectal surgery has garnered 6 citations since its 2025 publication, reflecting immediate engagement from the surgical community. Complementing this, his prospective cohort study of 102 cases evaluating the transition to the da Vinci Xi platform provides practical, evidence-based guidance for centres adopting new robotic systems, accumulating 3 citations. His additional work demonstrating the safety and efficacy of immersive robotic colorectal fellowships further strengthens the case for structured, accessible robotic training pathways. Though early in his publication career, Franklyn's focused output addresses real-world challenges facing surgical trainees and institutions navigating the robotic revolution, making his work particularly valuable for educators, programme directors, and trainees seeking evidence-based frameworks for robotic surgical training.
