About
Pujita Munnangi is a rising surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted hernia repair and optimizing patient outcomes across age groups. Her most cited study, a 2024 retrospective cohort analysis, systematically compared clinical outcomes of robotic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair in patients under and over 70 years old. This work, conducted under the auspices of The Robotic Global Surgical Society (TROGSS), demonstrated that robotic inguinal hernia repair is both safe and effective for elderly patients, challenging age-related surgical biases and expanding minimally invasive options for older populations. By integrating a comprehensive systematic review with institutional data, Munnangi provided evidence that fellowship-trained robotic surgeons can achieve excellent results regardless of patient age. Her research has garnered early citations, signaling growing recognition in the field of robotic surgery. Munnangi’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between advanced surgical technology and geriatric care, offering practical guidance for surgeons adopting robotic approaches. As a member of TROGSS, she is helping shape global standards for robotic hernia repair, making her a promising voice in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
