About

Pooja Patel is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a particular focus on hernia repair and emergency gastrointestinal procedures. Her work has made meaningful contributions to the growing evidence base supporting robotic surgical techniques as viable alternatives to traditional laparoscopic approaches. Patel's most influential publication, "Robotic ventral hernia repair: a safe and durable approach" (2019), has garnered 30 citations and helped establish the safety profile and long-term reliability of robotic techniques in ventral hernia management. Building on this foundation, her 2021 retrospective cohort study comparing robotic and laparoscopic interventions for perforated gastrojejunal ulcers — a notably complex emergent scenario — has accumulated 26 citations, demonstrating her commitment to advancing robotic surgery even in high-stakes settings. Her more recent 2023 work tracing the evolution from transabdominal to totally extra-peritoneal robotic hernia repair reflects her ongoing efforts to refine and innovate within the field. With a growing citation record and research spanning both elective and emergent robotic procedures, Patel represents an important voice in the surgical community's transition toward broader adoption of robotic platforms.
