About

Pooja Nakum is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics and oral and maxillofacial surgery, with a focused interest in how robotic systems are transforming surgical precision and patient outcomes. Her most cited work, the 2025 review "Robotics in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery," has already garnered 3 citations, establishing her as a thoughtful voice in this niche but rapidly evolving field. In this paper, Nakum synthesizes evidence showing that robotic assistance in maxillofacial procedures—ranging from head and neck tumor resections to non-malignant disease treatments—leads to measurable benefits: reduced blood loss, fewer complications, and enhanced surgical accuracy. Her contribution lies in critically evaluating the current landscape of robotic applications, identifying both the promise and the limitations of these systems in complex oral surgical contexts. By mapping the trajectory of robotic surgery from the twenty-first century into current practice, Nakum provides a valuable resource for surgeons and engineers alike. Her work signals a commitment to advancing minimally invasive techniques, and as the field grows, her review stands as a foundational reference for students and researchers exploring the future of robotic-assisted oral surgery.
