About

Dr. Dhananjay Pandey is a pioneering bariatric and hernia surgeon whose work is redefining quality standards in minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for bariatric and ventral hernia repairs, with a particular emphasis on establishing objective benchmarks and comparing operative outcomes. Dr. Pandey’s landmark 2023 study, “Global benchmarks in primary robotic bariatric surgery,” with 27 citations, is a seminal contribution that sets the “best possible” outcomes for robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, challenging the field to move beyond subjective experience toward data-driven quality. He has also made significant contributions to hernia surgery, leading comparative studies of laparoscopic IPOM Plus versus robotic TAPP for ventral hernias (11 citations) and pioneering work on extraperitoneal, retrorectus access (eTEP) techniques. His 2025 real-world evidence study, the first of its kind in India, provides crucial comparative data on postoperative pain and recovery across laparoscopic and robotic platforms. Through his rigorous, outcomes-focused research, Dr. Pandey is helping to clarify the true benefits of robotic technology in general surgery, guiding clinical decision-making and shaping future surgical standards.
