About

Mokhtar Eltair is a prominent colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer management. His major contributions lie in the comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME), a critical procedure for treating rectal cancer. His most-cited paper, a 2020 meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis, rigorously synthesizes evidence to assess the efficacy and safety of robotic versus laparoscopic TME, providing surgeons with data-driven insights to optimize patient outcomes. This work has garnered 23 citations, reflecting its influence in shaping clinical decision-making and surgical practice. Beyond this landmark study, Eltair’s research portfolio spans systematic reviews and clinical trials that address key challenges in colorectal surgery, including postoperative recovery and oncologic outcomes. His dedication to evidence-based medicine and surgical innovation has made him a respected voice in the field, offering clear guidance for practitioners navigating the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted surgery. For students and researchers, Eltair’s work exemplifies how meta-analytic approaches can resolve clinical controversies and drive progress in surgical oncology.
