About
Salini Hota is a colorectal surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques for a broad spectrum of colorectal conditions. Her research has made significant contributions to understanding the safety, efficacy, and learning curve associated with robotic colorectal surgery, most notably through a landmark outcomes analysis of over 500 patients that has garnered 40 citations and helped establish a framework for integrating robotic platforms into colorectal practice. Hota has extensively investigated robotic and laparoscopic approaches across diverse pathologies, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, rectal prolapse, and both early-stage and advanced colorectal cancers. Her large-scale national database analyses — drawing on the National Cancer Database — have illuminated trends in minimally invasive utilization and comparative outcomes across open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches, particularly in vulnerable populations such as elderly rectal cancer patients. Her exploration of emerging technologies, including transanal minimally invasive surgery and the AirSeal® trocar system, reflects a commitment to innovation at the surgical frontier. With over 160 total citations, Hota's body of work serves as a valuable resource for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of robotic colorectal surgery.
