About
Dr. Anil Hemandas is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on the ergonomics and safety of minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His landmark work, the VOLCANO randomised controlled trial (2024), directly addresses a critical yet often overlooked issue: the high rate of musculoskeletal injuries among surgeons caused by poor operating ergonomics. By demonstrating that robotic-assisted surgery using the open-console Versius® system significantly reduces ergonomic risk during major colorectal resections, Dr. Hemandas has provided compelling evidence for a paradigm shift in surgical practice. This study, already garnering 32 citations, underscores his commitment to not only improving patient outcomes but also safeguarding the long-term health of surgical teams. His contributions are vital for a new generation of surgeons, offering a data-driven path toward more sustainable and less physically demanding operative environments. Dr. Hemandas’s work stands as a key reference for integrating human factors into the design and adoption of surgical robotics.
