About

Dr. Hersha Patel is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is transforming the surgical management of gynecologic cancers, with a particular focus on minimally invasive and robotic techniques. Her primary research areas include the application of robotic surgery for endometrial, cervical, and advanced ovarian cancers, as well as the innovative use of intraoperative imaging to improve surgical precision. Dr. Patel’s major contributions are exemplified by her landmark 2021 paper on laparoscopic and robotic surgery for endometrial and cervical cancer, which has garnered 34 citations and serves as a foundational reference in the field. She is also at the forefront of novel perfusion assessment, as demonstrated by her 2024 study on Indocyanine Green (ICG) peritoneal angiography during robotic cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer—a technique that enhances real-time visualization of tissue viability. Her 2020 case series on robotic radical hysterectomy for stage 1B1 cervical cancer represents the largest single-institute UK series, establishing benchmarks for survival outcomes. Most recently, her 2025 work addresses the critical challenge of performing robotic hysterectomy in class III obesity patients with endometrial cancer, showcasing her commitment to expanding surgical access for high-risk populations. Dr. Patel’s research is not only advancing surgical oncology but also directly improving patient outcomes through safer, more effective procedures.
