About

Ankur Khajuria is a leading researcher at the intersection of surgery and technology, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and its applications in plastic and reconstructive surgery. His work critically examines the sustainability and evidence base of robotic techniques, challenging the field to move beyond technological promise toward rigorous clinical validation. In his highly cited 2015 paper, “Robotics and surgery: A sustainable relationship?” (17 citations), Khajuria provides a balanced analysis of RAS’s advantages—such as enhanced precision—against its clear disadvantages and the persistent lack of robust supporting evidence. This foundational work has shaped ongoing debates about the role of robotics in surgery. More recently, his 2024 systematic review, “The application of robotics in plastic and reconstructive surgery” (9 citations), offers a comprehensive assessment of RAS’s emerging role in a specialty where its adoption has been limited. By synthesizing current evidence, Khajuria highlights both the potential and the gaps in knowledge, guiding future research and clinical practice. His contributions are essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the realistic impact of surgical innovation.
