About
Dr. Nisha Lakhi is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery, for the management of gynecologic cancers. Her major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic staging for high-risk endometrial cancers, such as serous papillary and clear cell carcinoma, and comparing perioperative outcomes of robotic versus abdominal approaches for epithelial ovarian cancer. Her most cited work, a 2013 study on robotic versus abdominal surgery for ovarian cancer (60 citations), has helped shape clinical practice by showing that robotic approaches can achieve comparable oncologic outcomes with reduced morbidity. Dr. Lakhi has also contributed to surgical education through work on learning curves in robotic surgery and has provided critical insights into rare complications, such as uterine rupture following robotic myomectomy. Her technical guide on robotic omentectomy (2023) further establishes her as a leader in refining surgical anatomy and technique. With a growing body of work that bridges innovation and patient safety, Dr. Lakhi continues to influence the evolution of gynecologic oncology surgery, making her research essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to adopt or improve robotic approaches.
