About
Purushothaman Premchand is a pioneering researcher in advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy, with a primary focus on robotic colonoscopy and lower GI diagnostics. His major contributions center on improving patient outcomes and procedural efficiency in colorectal cancer screening. His most cited work, "Robotic Colonoscopy and Beyond: Insights into Modern Lower Gastrointestinal Endoscopy" (2023, 12 citations), highlights how delays in colonoscopy after positive fecal immunochemical tests increase risks of advanced adenomas and CRC, underscoring the need for timely, patient-friendly interventions. Premchand further advances the field with his pilot study on a novel robotic inchworm colonoscopy system (2025, 2 citations), addressing the critical issue that 75% of patients experience pain even with moderate sedation. By demonstrating how robotic technology can reduce discomfort and optimize room utilization, he paves the way for more accessible, less invasive screening. His work is notable for bridging engineering innovation and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions to long-standing barriers in endoscopy. With a growing citation impact, Premchand’s research is essential for students and clinicians aiming to understand the future of robotic-assisted GI care.
