About

Sushant Wadhera is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on the transformative role of robotics in minimally invasive surgery, particularly within bariatrics and complex oncologic resections. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating how robotic digital platforms can address the technical challenges of increasingly complex surgical procedures. His most cited work, a 2014 review on the role of robotics in bariatric surgery (49 citations), systematically examines outcomes and complications, establishing a foundational evidence base for the field. Wadhera further showcased the practical application of this technology with his highly cited case report on robot-assisted excision of a large retroperitoneal schwannoma (30 citations). This report documented the successful removal of a 13x9x7 cm tumor, proving that even large, anatomically challenging masses can be resected with the benefits of a minimally invasive approach. Through these contributions, Wadhera has advanced the frontier of surgical innovation, providing compelling evidence that robotic assistance can improve patient outcomes by reducing surgical trauma while maintaining oncologic integrity.
