About

Arup Kumar Mandal is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic surgery, with a focused expertise in intraoperative technical challenges and the advancement of minimally invasive procedures. His work critically examines the intersection of cutting-edge technology and surgical practice, particularly highlighting the unforeseen complications that can arise even with state-of-the-art robotic systems. Mandal’s most cited paper, "Instrument malfunction during robotic surgery: A case report" (2016, 10 citations), is a landmark contribution that documents a novel technical problem with the robotic instrument tip cover—a failure not addressed in standard troubleshooting manuals. This case study has become a vital reference for surgeons and engineers, underscoring the need for continuous refinement of robotic platforms. By bringing attention to these rare but critical malfunctions, Mandal has helped shape safer surgical protocols and informed the design of more resilient robotic instruments. His work serves as an essential resource for researchers and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted surgery, emphasizing that even the most advanced technologies require vigilant oversight and iterative improvement.
