About

Praveen Sridhar is a surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of endocrine surgery and advanced thoracic robotics. His primary research focus is the minimally invasive management of mediastinal parathyroid adenomas—rare, ectopic glands that traditionally require sternotomy or thoracoscopic surgery. Sridhar’s major contribution is demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted thoracic surgical (RATS) resection for these challenging cases, particularly in morbidly obese patients where conventional approaches carry high risk. His most cited paper (6 citations) and a closely related follow-up (5 citations) both detail this technique, describing how robotic precision allows for complete adenoma excision with reduced morbidity. Notably, these reports also address the rare complication of osteitis fibrosa cystica, a severe form of hyperparathyroidism-related bone disease, highlighting the advanced pathology his patients present. While his citation counts are modest, they reflect a focused, niche contribution that has informed subsequent robotic endocrine surgery protocols. Sridhar’s work underscores how surgical innovation can expand treatment options for patients with complex, anatomically unfavorable disease.
