About
Priyanka Agarwal is a pioneering surgeon-researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery. Her primary research focuses on comparative outcomes in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted ventral hernia repairs, with a particular emphasis on advanced techniques like the enhanced view total extraperitoneal (eTEP) retrorectus approach. Agarwal’s major contributions include providing some of the first real-world evidence from India comparing these surgical modalities, addressing critical gaps in postoperative pain management, analgesic use, and patient quality of life. Her 2025 study on eTEP outcomes, which has already garnered 5 citations, is notable for being among the earliest to systematically evaluate operative results of this technically demanding procedure in a comparative context. Another highly cited paper offers pragmatic insights into short-term clinical outcomes across diverse defect sizes and techniques. By generating evidence from real-world Indian surgical practice, Agarwal is helping to democratize access to data on advanced hernia repair, guiding surgeons in technique selection and improving perioperative care standards. Her work stands at the intersection of surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, making her a key voice in the evolution of robotic and laparoscopic hernia surgery.
