About

Manish Pathak is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of pediatric surgery and advanced robotic technologies. With a focused research portfolio centered on minimally invasive surgical techniques in children, Pathak has contributed meaningfully to understanding how robotic-assisted platforms — particularly the da Vinci surgical system — can be adapted and implemented in pediatric clinical settings. His most cited work, "Robotic surgery in paediatric patients" (2019, 12 citations), documents his institution's pioneering early experience with robot-assisted procedures in children, offering a practical stepwise framework valuable to surgical teams navigating the adoption of this technology. This translational approach — bridging emerging technology with real-world clinical application — reflects a consistent thread throughout his research. His more recent narrated review on robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in children (2024, 5 citations) demonstrates his continued commitment to advancing this specialized field as it matures. Though his citation footprint is still developing, Pathak occupies a meaningful niche in an underexplored area of pediatric surgical innovation. For students and early-career researchers interested in robotic surgery's frontiers in younger patient populations, his published experience provides a grounded and clinically relevant starting point.
