About

Dr. Bobby BhaskerRao is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted surgery, with a focused career dedicated to refining and teaching minimally invasive techniques. His foundational work centers on the development of structured, reproducible methods for complex bariatric procedures. Notably, his 2006 paper, "Teaching robotic surgery: a stepwise approach," with 44 citations, established a critical pedagogical framework that has guided generations of surgeons in safely adopting robotic platforms. Complementing this, his 2004 study on "Robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass" (38 citations) demonstrated the clinical viability and technical precision of robotic systems for metabolic surgery, helping to shift the field from traditional laparoscopy. Through these contributions, Dr. BhaskerRao has not only advanced surgical outcomes but also created a lasting educational legacy, making him a key architect in the standardization and dissemination of robotic surgical training worldwide.
