About
Dr. Devendra Parikh is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimal access surgery (MIS) for cancer treatment, with a particular focus on safety, innovation, and real-world outcomes. His most impactful contribution is the development of expert consensus guidelines for performing safe laparoscopy and robotic surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, a work that has garnered 13 citations and provided a critical framework for maintaining oncological care under unprecedented circumstances. Dr. Parikh also spearheaded the Indian Collaborative Group on Rectal Resections (ICGRR), a landmark multi-centric real-world study that rigorously compared perioperative and histopathological outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted rectal resections. This work, involving a retrospective chart review of patients treated for rectal cancer, offers vital evidence on the comparative effectiveness of these surgical approaches in a diverse clinical setting. By generating practice-modifying guidelines and generating high-quality, real-world data, Dr. Parikh is shaping safer, more effective surgical protocols and improving outcomes for cancer patients across India and beyond.
