About
Charan Donkor is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with particular expertise in hernia repair and bariatric procedures. His research has shaped contemporary understanding of robotic surgical platforms, demonstrating their feasibility, safety, and comparative advantages over traditional laparoscopic techniques. Donkor's most influential contributions include a landmark 2013 study on robotic sleeve gastrectomy across 134 cases, which garnered 85 citations and provided critical benchmarking data against laparoscopic approaches. His parallel investigations into robotic inguinal hernia repair—including both feasibility studies and broader perspective reviews—have collectively accumulated nearly 200 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in this subspecialty. His 2013 comparative analysis of single-incision cholecystectomy platforms, including the innovative SPIDER system, further reflects his commitment to evaluating emerging surgical technologies with scientific rigor. Through publications in robotic bariatric surgery and comprehensive reviews of hernia repair evolution, Donkor has helped guide surgeons navigating an increasingly technology-driven operative landscape. His body of work, totaling over 350 citations, serves as essential reading for surgical trainees and practicing surgeons seeking evidence-based guidance on robotic surgical adoption.
