About
Dr. Shraddha Patkar is a pioneering hepatobiliary and robotic surgeon whose work is redefining the surgical management of gallbladder cancer and liver malignancies. Her primary research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery, within high-volume oncology settings in India. Dr. Patkar’s major contributions include standardizing the operative technique for robotic radical cholecystectomy (RRC) and demonstrating its feasibility and safety compared to open surgery, as evidenced by her most-cited paper (45 citations). She has also been instrumental in introducing and refining the use of the da Vinci Xi system for complex hepatobiliary procedures, such as robotic left hepatectomy using a modified rubber-band technique. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Patkar is exploring the integration of artificial intelligence into perioperative planning and liver resection management, signaling a forward-looking approach to surgical innovation. Her cumulative work, with papers accumulating over 80 citations, has established her as a key figure in robotic hepatobiliary oncology, particularly in demonstrating that advanced robotic techniques can be successfully implemented in resource-constrained, high-volume centers, thereby expanding access to precision surgery.
