About
Dr. Sandeep C. Sabnis is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology, particularly in complex gastrointestinal and pancreatic procedures. His research centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques for high-risk resections, with a focus on improving outcomes for both adult cancers and rare pediatric tumors. Dr. Sabnis made a landmark contribution with the first reported robotic pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for a solid pseudopapillary tumour (SPT) in an adolescent girl, demonstrating that even the most intricate surgeries can be performed safely in young patients, achieving excellent 5-year survival rates. His foundational experience with over 250 thoraco-laparoscopic oesophagectomies (TLE) paved the way for his adoption of robotic systems for oesophageal cancer, showcasing reduced morbidity through enhanced precision. Though his most-cited works have accrued modest citation counts (4 and 3), their clinical significance is profound—they represent pioneering case reports and initial series that have guided surgical innovation in resource-limited settings. Dr. Sabnis’s work stands as a testament to the power of robotic surgery in expanding the frontiers of what is possible, offering hope for patients with complex, rare conditions.
