About
Parveen Vitish-Sharma is a surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and surgical ergonomics. With a career spanning over a decade, Vitish-Sharma has emerged as a leading voice in the adoption and rigorous evaluation of novel robotic surgical platforms, particularly the Versius® system developed by CMR Surgical. His early work examined intraocular pressure changes during steep Trendelenburg positioning in robotic procedures, reflecting a broad curiosity about patient safety in complex operative environments. He subsequently led one of the first large multi-specialty case series assessing the feasibility of the Versius® system, a foundational study that has garnered 39 citations and helped establish the platform's clinical credibility. His landmark VOLCANO randomised controlled trial demonstrated that robotic-assisted colorectal surgery meaningfully reduces ergonomic risk for operating surgeons — a critically underappreciated issue in the field — accumulating 32 citations since 2024. Complementary work on robotic hernia repair, including the VOLTAIRE trial, further cements his reputation as a champion of evidence-based surgical innovation. Collectively, Vitish-Sharma's research makes a compelling case that advancing surgical technology can protect both patients and the surgeons who care for them.
