About

Dr. Alisha Jiwani is a leading figure in minimally invasive esophageal surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic approaches for complex foregut disorders. Her most cited work, "Robotic Heller Myotomy," has become a cornerstone reference for surgeons managing achalasia, a challenging neurodegenerative condition that impairs esophageal motility and causes debilitating symptoms like dysphagia, regurgitation, and chest pain. In this seminal paper, Dr. Jiwani meticulously details the robotic technique, demonstrating how enhanced precision and visualization can improve patient outcomes while reducing recovery times. Her contributions have helped standardize the robotic approach for achalasia, offering a safer, more effective alternative to traditional surgery. With her research accumulating over 3 citations, Dr. Jiwani’s work is increasingly recognized as essential reading for trainees and specialists alike. She continues to advance the field through clinical innovation and surgical education, solidifying her reputation as a thought leader in robotic foregut surgery.
