About
Dr. Mukund Khetan is a pioneering bariatric and robotic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive approaches for complex abdominal procedures. His research focuses on the application of robotic platforms in bariatric surgery, particularly for high-risk populations. Dr. Khetan’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese versus super obese patients, a study that has garnered 49 citations and helped establish robotic techniques as a viable option for this challenging cohort. He has also authored a comprehensive review on the contemporary role of robotics in bariatric surgery, highlighting how digital platforms address technical demands in increasingly complex cases. Beyond bariatrics, Dr. Khetan has showcased the versatility of robotics in excising large retroperitoneal tumors, such as a 13 cm schwannoma, and in performing advanced hernia repairs like the robotic eTEP/TAR without crossover. His work, totaling over 130 citations, underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, offering patients reduced morbidity and faster recovery. Dr. Khetan’s innovative techniques continue to shape the future of robotic surgery.
