About
Atul Sharma is a surgeon-researcher whose work critically examines the long-term safety and oncological risks of emerging bariatric procedures. His most cited paper (52 citations) investigates the alarming link between mini-gastric bypass/one anastomosis gastric bypass (MGB/OAGB) and the development of adenocarcinoma at the gastro-oesophageal junction. This landmark study raised serious concerns about chronic biliary reflux and malignancy risk, directly influencing global surgical guidelines and prompting more rigorous patient follow-up protocols. Sharma’s research has been instrumental in shifting the conversation around MGB/OAGB from short-term metabolic benefits to lifelong cancer surveillance. Additionally, he has explored innovative surgical techniques, such as trans-oral robotic surgery for mandibulotomy sparing in posterior oral tongue cancers, demonstrating his versatility in head and neck oncology. By bridging bariatric surgery and cancer epidemiology, Sharma has provided critical evidence that has reshaped clinical decision-making and patient counseling. His work serves as a vital cautionary tale for surgeons and patients alike, emphasizing that even revolutionary weight-loss procedures carry hidden, long-term risks that demand careful consideration.
