About
Vivek Tandon is a pioneering neurosurgeon and robotic surgery specialist whose work bridges the precision of stereotactic neurosurgery with the minimally invasive potential of robotic platforms. His most impactful contribution lies in the integration of advanced image-guidance systems for treating complex neurological conditions. In his landmark 2018 study, Tandon demonstrated the use of the ROSA robotic system coregistered with intraoperative O-arm imaging for stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation of hypothalamic hamartomas—a procedure that offers a safer, more accurate alternative for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. This work, which has garnered 30 citations, showcases his commitment to translating cutting-edge technology into tangible clinical outcomes. Beyond neurosurgery, Tandon has also advanced robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, notably performing a rare robotic transhiatal excision of an epiphrenic diverticulum (10 citations) and a pioneering robotic repair of a parahiatal hernia with gastric volvulus—a condition notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat. His ability to apply robotic precision across surgical disciplines marks him as a versatile innovator, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in both cranial and abdominal robotic surgery.
