About

Dr. Mrunal Bandawar is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery in India. His key research areas include robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for colorectal cancer, and the development of standardized protocols for complex pelvic procedures. Dr. Bandawar's most notable contribution is his landmark study, "Robot-assisted low anterior resection in fifty-three consecutive patients: an Indian experience," which demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery in a resource-limited setting. This work, cited over six times, provided crucial early evidence that robotic approaches could achieve outcomes comparable to international standards, helping to establish robotic colorectal surgery as a viable option in India. Beyond this, Dr. Bandawar has been instrumental in training the next generation of surgeons, advocating for the integration of advanced technology into routine practice. His dedication to improving surgical outcomes through innovation and education continues to shape the landscape of colorectal care, making him a respected figure in both national and international surgical communities.
