About

Rohan R Gujjuri is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive oncologic surgery and surgeon wellness. His primary research areas include oesophageal cancer surgery, surgical ergonomics, and the quantification of physical and cognitive strain in the operating theatre. Gujjuri’s most impactful contribution is a comprehensive systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing open, minimally invasive, and robotic approaches for transthoracic oesophagectomy. This study, which has garnered 44 citations, provided critical evidence on clinical outcomes and helped guide surgical decision-making for oesophageal cancer. More recently, Gujjuri has pioneered the study of ergonomic strain in abdominal and thoracic surgery. His 2025 systematic review on methods for measuring surgeon strain addresses a pressing issue in the field: the high rates of injury, burnout, and early career attrition among surgeons. By outlining validated tools for assessing both cognitive and physical strain, this work lays the foundation for safer, more sustainable surgical practice. Gujjuri’s research uniquely bridges patient outcomes with surgeon well-being, marking him as a thoughtful voice in the future of operative surgery.
