About
Dr. Rajiv Maharaj is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hernia repair. His primary research focus lies in advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for groin hernias, where he challenges conventional approaches. Maharaj’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on the robotic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair using the Cambridge Medical Robotics Versius system. In his landmark 2023 study, he demonstrated that the TEP approach—traditionally limited to laparoscopy—can be safely and effectively performed robotically, offering patients the benefits of reduced bowel injury risk and faster operating times. This work, which has already garnered 4 citations, represents a significant paradigm shift, as robotic groin repair was previously only done transabdominally. By expanding the robotic repertoire, Maharaj is helping to make advanced minimally invasive surgery more accessible and safer. His research is critical for surgeons seeking to integrate new robotic platforms into their practice, and his findings are paving the way for broader adoption of robotic TEP techniques worldwide.
