About

Dr. Chandra Hassan is a pioneering bariatric and transplant surgeon whose work sits at the critical intersection of metabolic surgery and robotic innovation. Her research focuses on expanding surgical access for high-risk populations, particularly through the development of combined robotic procedures. Dr. Hassan’s most impactful contribution is her landmark study on simultaneous robotic kidney transplantation and bariatric surgery for morbidly obese patients with end-stage renal failure (62 citations), which has established a new paradigm for treating this complex patient cohort. She is also a leading authority on revisional bariatric surgery, with her high-volume center experience (46 citations) providing essential outcome data for surgeons managing failed primary procedures. Her work on the learning curve for robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (20 citations) offers critical benchmarks for training programs adopting the robotic platform. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 150, Dr. Hassan’s research directly addresses the challenges of surgical access, weight recidivism, and postoperative outcomes in urban academic settings, making her a transformative figure in the advancement of robotic bariatric and transplant surgery.
