About
Dr. Mihir Chitale is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimal access surgery (MAS), particularly in complex oncological procedures. Based at the Galaxy Care Laparoscopy Institute, his research focuses on the feasibility and efficacy of next-generation robotic systems for high-stakes surgeries. His major contributions include demonstrating the clinical viability of the Versius Surgical Robot System for colorectal cancer surgery, a study that has garnered 31 citations, and leading the first-in-human series of transthoracic esophagectomies using a next-generation robot (11 citations). Dr. Chitale’s landmark 2020 study on robotic radical hysterectomy (34 citations) established a new benchmark for gynecologic oncology, proving that advanced robotics can match or surpass conventional MAS outcomes. He has also advanced the treatment of distal rectal cancers through intersphincteric resection and coloanal anastomosis, addressing a persistent surgical challenge. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for pioneering first-in-human trials, Dr. Chitale is a leading voice in the global shift toward robotic-assisted surgery, offering patients safer, less invasive options for even the most complex cancers.
