About
Rohan Joseph is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of robotic minimally invasive surgery, best known for developing the innovative “Chopstick” surgery technique. His work addresses a critical challenge in single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS): the collision of robotic arms within a single small incision. Joseph’s major contribution—first detailed in his 2009 paper (132 citations)—introduces a crossed-instrument approach that allows the Da Vinci robot to operate effectively through a single port, dramatically improving surgeon ergonomics and precision. This breakthrough has opened new possibilities for scarless surgery and reduced patient trauma. His follow-up 2010 study (30 citations) further refined the technique, demonstrating its clinical viability. Joseph’s work has been widely cited by robotic surgery researchers and adopted in training programs worldwide, cementing his role as a key innovator in advancing robotic SILS from concept to practical application.
