About

Pushpinder Singh Khera is a surgical oncologist whose work centers on refining minimally invasive techniques for esophageal cancer treatment. His primary research focuses on improving the safety and precision of esophagectomy, particularly through the innovative use of intraoperative imaging. Khera’s most cited work, "Intra-Nodal Indocyanine Green Injection to Delineate Thoracic Duct During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy" (2022), has garnered 17 citations, highlighting its immediate relevance in reducing the risk of chyle leaks—a serious postoperative complication. By demonstrating how targeted dye injection can illuminate the thoracic duct in real time, he has provided surgeons with a practical, reproducible method to enhance anatomical visualization. This contribution not only advances surgical safety but also exemplifies a broader commitment to integrating fluorescence-guided technologies into oncologic procedures. Khera’s research is particularly impactful for trainees and practicing surgeons seeking to adopt high-volume, low-morbidity approaches. His work underscores a dedication to translating technical innovations into measurable improvements in patient outcomes, positioning him as a rising voice in the field of minimally invasive esophageal surgery.
