About
Najaf Siddiqi is a colorectal surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer and complex gastrointestinal conditions. With a growing body of highly cited publications, Siddiqi has made significant contributions to advancing robotic surgery as a safe and effective alternative to traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. Among Siddiqi's most influential contributions is the development and description of a standardized single-docking technique for robotic rectal surgery (27 citations), which has helped streamline surgical workflows and improve reproducibility. His research on Robotic Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for right colon cancers (26 citations) addresses one of the field's most technically demanding procedures, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in a single-centre experience. Notably, Siddiqi has also investigated robotic colorectal surgery in octogenarian patients (18 citations), expanding the evidence base for high-risk populations. His systematic review on robotic ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (17 citations) and innovative use of intraoperative robotic ultrasound in obese patients reflect a commitment to pushing technological boundaries. Collectively, his work has meaningfully shaped contemporary practice in robotic colorectal surgery.
