About
Rajiv Lahiri is a pioneering surgeon-researcher advancing the field of minimally invasive oncologic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) and colorectal procedures. His work critically evaluates the safety, efficacy, and true clinical benefits of robotic surgery in high-stakes cancer care. Lahiri’s most-cited study, “Safety of robotic cholecystectomy as index training procedure: the UK experience” (2024, 6 citations), establishes foundational benchmarks for training and patient safety in robotic surgery. He further challenges surgical dogma in “What are the true benefits of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy for patients with pancreatic cancer?” (2024, 5 citations), interrogating whether robotic approaches meaningfully improve outcomes for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma—a notoriously aggressive disease. His systematic review comparing robotic versus laparoscopic liver surgery for colorectal liver metastasis (2021, 3 citations) synthesizes evidence on short- and long-term outcomes, guiding clinical decision-making. Through rigorous comparative effectiveness research and a focus on training paradigms, Lahiri is shaping the evidence base for robotic HPB surgery, ensuring that technological innovation translates into tangible patient benefits.
