Sangeeta Khanna

About

Dr. Sangeeta Khanna is a pioneering anesthesiologist and perioperative specialist whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive surgery. Her research centers on the complex anesthetic and surgical challenges of robotic-assisted and laparoscopic procedures, with a particular focus on kidney transplantation and thoracic surgery. Dr. Khanna’s major contributions include developing and describing the first perioperative management strategies for minimally invasive kidney transplantation (2015), a landmark paper with 38 citations that provides a critical framework for a novel surgical approach. She has also advanced the safe anesthetic management of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (2023, 15 citations), addressing unique positioning and equipment challenges. In the challenging field of robotic thoracic surgery, Dr. Khanna has demonstrated its feasibility for complex inflammatory and infective diseases endemic to South-East Asia, such as tuberculosis and aspergilloma (2019, 11 citations; 2016, 8 citations). Notably, she has devised a specific strategy to prevent endobronchial spillage during lung resections for aspergilloma (2016), a crucial safety innovation. Through her work, Dr. Khanna is not only expanding the boundaries of what is surgically possible but also ensuring these advanced procedures are safer for patients.
