About

Dr. Sangeeta Bhagat is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose work focuses on the perioperative management of innovative surgical techniques, particularly in oncoplastic and robotic breast surgery. Her most cited paper, "Anaesthetic consideration for robotic nipple sparing mastectomy" (2017, 7 citations), represents a landmark contribution by detailing the first reported anesthetic protocol for robotic nipple sparing mastectomy with breast expander implant. This work addresses critical perioperative challenges—including patient positioning, pneumothorax risk, and multimodal analgesia—that have helped establish safety standards for this minimally invasive approach, which offers reduced pain, hidden scars, and improved patient compliance. Dr. Bhagat's research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and anesthetic practice, ensuring that complex robotic procedures can be performed with optimal patient outcomes. Her contributions are particularly valuable for anesthesiologists and surgeons working in breast reconstruction, as she provides evidence-based guidance for managing the unique physiological demands of robotic-assisted surgery. With her work cited in subsequent studies on robotic mastectomy and enhanced recovery protocols, Dr. Bhagat continues to shape the evolving field of perioperative medicine for advanced surgical techniques.
