About
Dr. Hari B. Keshava is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in complex cancer surgeries, particularly for pancreatic and thoracic malignancies. His landmark multi-institutional study comparing robotic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy, published in 2016 and cited over 280 times, provided critical evidence that robotic approaches can achieve comparable perioperative outcomes to traditional open surgery, helping to validate and expand the adoption of robotic pancreatic surgery. This work has been instrumental in shaping surgical practice for pancreatic cancer patients. More recently, Dr. Keshava has investigated the role of minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer following neoadjuvant systemic therapy, contributing to the growing body of evidence supporting robotic-assisted and video-assisted approaches in thoracic oncology. His systematic review on this topic highlights his commitment to optimizing surgical strategies for patients with advanced disease. Through his rigorous comparative effectiveness research and systematic reviews, Dr. Keshava continues to influence surgical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients undergoing high-risk oncologic resections.
