Meghna Datta

About

Dr. Meghna Datta is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the surgical treatment of early-stage cervical cancer. Her work centers on comparing minimally invasive techniques, specifically robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) and total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLRH) with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Dr. Datta’s most influential study, a prospective analysis of 164 patients, demonstrated that RRH offers comparable intraoperative, pathologic, and postoperative outcomes to TLRH, establishing robotic surgery as a safe and effective alternative. This landmark paper, cited over 160 times, has guided clinical decision-making worldwide. Her subsequent work on recurrence and survival further solidified the oncologic safety of these approaches. By rigorously evaluating these cutting-edge procedures, Dr. Datta has helped shape modern standards of care, enabling surgeons to offer patients less invasive options without compromising cancer control. Her contributions remain essential reading for any clinician or researcher seeking to understand the evolution of surgical management in early cervical cancer.
