About

Varun Puri is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, oncology, and cost-effectiveness in healthcare. His research primarily focuses on robotic-assisted techniques for complex procedures, including bariatric surgery and thoracic oncology. Puri’s major contributions include the development of novel robotic approaches, such as the robotically assisted biliary pancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch (81 citations) and early work on laparoscopy-assisted robotic radical cystoprostatectomy (50 citations). In thoracic surgery, his landmark study on utilization trends, outcomes, and cost in minimally invasive lobectomy (68 citations) has been instrumental in shaping clinical practice, while his cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic-assisted lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (28 citations) provides critical evidence for resource allocation. Puri’s work demonstrates a consistent commitment to advancing surgical precision while rigorously evaluating economic and patient-centered outcomes. His innovative techniques and outcomes research have made him a leading voice in the adoption of robotic surgery, influencing both surgical training and healthcare policy.
