About

Anubhav Mittal is a pioneering Australian surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive abdominal surgery. His primary research focuses on the advancement and application of robotic techniques in complex hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) and hernia surgery. Mittal’s major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety and feasibility of transitioning from traditional open procedures to robotic approaches, particularly in challenging contexts. His most cited work, a 2020 case-control study (15 citations), critically evaluates robotic versus open transversus abdominis release (rTAR vs. oTAR) for incisional hernia repair, providing vital comparative data on a procedure that is essential for complex abdominal wall reconstruction. He has also made significant strides in pancreatic surgery, authoring the “Royal North Shore Technique” for robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy and documenting the learning curve for transitioning from open to robotic distal pancreatectomy in a low-volume pancreatic surgery country like Australia. Through these detailed technical descriptions and outcome analyses, Mittal is not only advancing surgical precision but also providing a roadmap for other surgeons and institutions seeking to adopt robotic platforms, thereby expanding access to less invasive, high-quality surgical care.
