About
Ravish Jootun is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancers, particularly through robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic approaches for complex colorectal surgeries, including Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for right colon cancers and low anterior resection for rectal cancers. His 2021 study on robotic CME, with 26 citations, provided crucial evidence that this technically demanding procedure can be performed safely with favorable short and midterm outcomes, addressing key barriers to adoption such as training gaps and lack of data. Jootun also led the ROTA study, a matched cohort trial comparing robotic versus transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for mid to low rectal cancer, contributing valuable comparative effectiveness data in the hands of experienced surgeons. His work directly addresses anatomical challenges like obesity and narrow male pelvises, helping to expand surgical options for patients. By generating evidence for robotic techniques, Jootun is helping to shape the future of colorectal cancer surgery, making advanced minimally invasive approaches more accessible and standardized.
