About
Mishal Gillani is an emerging surgical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic colorectal surgery and objective surgical performance assessment. Specializing in the development and application of objective performance indicators (OPIs), Gillani's research addresses a fundamental challenge in modern surgery: how to rigorously and scalably measure surgical skill and workflow in robotic-assisted procedures. Among Gillani's most notable contributions is the introduction of the Ratio of Economy of Motion, a novel metric designed to accurately assign console-specific performance data during dual-console robotic proctectomy — a methodological innovation that has already garnered 15 citations since its 2023 publication. Building on this foundation, subsequent work has demonstrated that OPIs can meaningfully distinguish between surgeons of differing expertise during robotic right colectomy and proctectomy, with studies accumulating up to 10 citations each. Gillani has also advanced understanding of how patient factors, such as obesity, influence intraoperative performance metrics, and has applied rigorous workflow quantification methods to illuminate procedural variability. With a growing citation record across multiple high-impact studies, Gillani's research is shaping how the surgical community evaluates competency, standardizes training, and ultimately improves patient outcomes in robotic colorectal surgery.
