About
Dr. Sadhna Lal is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex congenital conditions, particularly choledochal cysts (CC). Her major contribution lies in refining and popularizing the robotic-assisted excision of CC with hepaticoduodenostomy (HD), a procedure that offers superior outcomes compared to traditional approaches. In her landmark 2020 study, which has garnered 15 citations, Dr. Lal detailed her innovative HD technique and reported early outcomes, demonstrating its safety, feasibility, and enhanced recovery benefits in pediatric patients. This work has helped establish robotic surgery as a standard of care for CC excision at specialized centers worldwide. Beyond this, Dr. Lal's research portfolio reflects a sustained commitment to improving surgical precision and reducing morbidity in children. Her achievements include pioneering the adoption of robotic platforms in pediatric surgery, mentoring the next generation of surgeons, and contributing to global guidelines on minimally invasive hepatobiliary procedures. With her work cited by peers advancing the field, Dr. Lal continues to shape the future of pediatric surgical care.
