About

Rauand Duhoky is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. His work centers on three key areas: optimizing robotic training pathways, advancing minimally invasive techniques for rectal and colon cancer, and leveraging artificial intelligence to improve surgical precision. Duhoky’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (r-TAMIS) for early rectal cancers and providing long-term evidence—through a propensity-score matched cohort study—that robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) yields comparable five-year survival outcomes to laparoscopic approaches. His research has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited papers accumulating over 60 citations within just two years. Notably, Duhoky leads the EUREKA collaborative, a multicentre initiative evaluating clinical, oncological, and functional outcomes after robotic rectal cancer surgery, and has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence for real-time anatomical mapping during robotic TME. His work on risk prediction modelling for pelvic sepsis and anastomotic leak further underscores his commitment to improving patient safety. Through these achievements, Duhoky is establishing himself as a transformative figure in robotic colorectal surgery.
