About

M.A. Koshkin is a surgeon specializing in minimally invasive and robotic approaches to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). His key research area centers on advanced anti-reflux surgery, with a particular focus on robotic redo fundoplication—a complex procedure for patients whose initial surgery has failed. Koshkin’s major contributions include synthesizing global experience with robot-assisted interventions, demonstrating how the Da Vinci system can improve precision and outcomes in both primary and revisional anti-reflux procedures. His 2022 narrative review on robotic redo fundoplication, which has garnered 4 citations, provides a critical analysis of failure mechanisms and technical refinements, offering a roadmap for surgeons tackling challenging reoperations. Another notable work from 2021 reviews robot-assisted anti-reflux surgery, highlighting its role when conservative therapy proves insufficient. Though his citation counts are modest, Koshkin’s work is significant for its practical focus on enhancing surgical success rates and reducing complications in a field where reoperations are notoriously difficult. His research directly addresses a pressing clinical need, making him a valuable voice in the evolution of robotic foregut surgery.
