About

Surendra Kumar Mantoo is a colorectal surgeon whose research has advanced the surgical management of pelvic floor disorders, particularly obstructed defecation. His most cited work (92 citations) directly compares robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy (RVMR) with the laparoscopic approach (LVMR), demonstrating that robotic assistance offers superior functional outcomes, reduced morbidity, and lower recurrence rates. This landmark study helped establish RVMR as a viable, often preferable, alternative to traditional laparoscopy for complex pelvic floor reconstruction. Mantoo further refined the field by showing that a standardized surgical technique and a dedicated operating room environment can significantly reduce operative time in robotic pelvic surgery (17 citations), addressing a key barrier to wider adoption. His contributions are notable for translating technical innovation into practical, evidence-based protocols that improve both surgical efficiency and patient quality of life. By systematically evaluating outcomes and streamlining procedures, Mantoo has helped shape modern, minimally invasive approaches to pelvic floor disorders, making him a respected voice in colorectal and robotic surgery.
