About

Dr. Rishi Pawa is a pioneering advanced endoscopist whose research focuses on minimally invasive interventions for gastrointestinal malignancies, particularly malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). His landmark 2023 study comparing endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) to robotic gastrojejunostomy represents a paradigm shift in managing unresectable GOO, demonstrating that EUS-GJ achieves comparable clinical success with potentially reduced recovery times. This work, already cited 19 times, has established Dr. Pawa as a leading voice in therapeutic endoscopy, challenging traditional surgical approaches. Beyond this, his broader contributions span advanced endoscopic techniques, including lumen-apposing metal stent applications and pancreaticobiliary interventions. Dr. Pawa’s research consistently bridges the gap between endoscopic innovation and surgical outcomes, offering patients less invasive alternatives without compromising efficacy. His work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and training the next generation of endoscopists. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Dr. Pawa continues to push the boundaries of what is possible through the endoscope, making him a key figure in the evolution of gastroenterology toward more patient-centered, minimally invasive care.
