About

Dr. Anjani H. Turaga is a surgical researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in hernia repair and anti-reflux surgery. Her major contributions lie in critically evaluating surgical approaches—demonstrating that contemporary inguinal hernia repair shows no significant differences in cost or operative time across techniques (5 citations). She has also advanced understanding of post-operative complications, using intra-operative planimetry to identify causes of dysphagia after anti-reflux surgery (4 citations) and showing that obesity significantly increases recurrence risk following re-operative anti-reflux procedures (2 citations). Her clinical research on endoscopic balloon dilation for post-surgical dysphagia (2 citations) offers evidence for non-surgical management strategies. Dr. Turaga’s work bridges surgical technique optimization and patient-centered outcomes, providing actionable insights for surgeons managing complex foregut and abdominal wall pathologies. Her studies, though recently published, already inform clinical decision-making in high-volume centers.
