About

Dr. Ankit Dhamija is a cardiothoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex thoracic and cardiac conditions. His major contributions center on robotic-assisted procedures, particularly for myasthenia gravis and atrial fibrillation. In his highly cited work "Robotic thymectomy for myasthenia gravis surgical techniques and outcomes" (2021, 10 citations), Dr. Dhamija details refined robotic approaches for thymectomy, offering patients with this autoimmune disorder a less invasive option with improved recovery. He further demonstrates his surgical innovation in "Robotic assisted cryothermic biatrial Cox‐Maze" (2021, 7 citations), where he provides a step-by-step methodology for replicating the classic Cox-Maze III lesion set using a single cryothermic energy source. This work has helped standardize a reproducible, minimally invasive treatment for atrial fibrillation. Dr. Dhamija’s research directly impacts surgical practice by providing detailed technical roadmaps that enable broader adoption of robotic techniques, ultimately improving patient outcomes in cardiothoracic surgery.
