About
Dr. Mahak Bhandari is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose work focuses on advancing surgical interventions for severe obesity, particularly through robotic and tele-robotic technologies. Her major contributions include establishing effective medium-term outcomes for super-obese and super-super-obese patients, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2019 study (50 citations), which provides critical evidence for selecting optimal bariatric procedures in this challenging population. Dr. Bhandari’s landmark achievement is performing the world’s first long-distance tele-robotic bariatric surgery using an indigenous robotic platform, the SSI Mantra System, for one anastomosis gastric bypass—a breakthrough that expands access to minimally invasive surgery for remote and underserved communities. This work, published in 2025, underscores her role as a global innovator in robotic surgery. With a career dedicated to high-volume, high-impact clinical research, Dr. Bhandari has significantly shaped bariatric surgery protocols and inspired a new generation of surgeons to embrace technology-driven solutions for obesity care.
