About

Dr. Rtika Abraham is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, particularly in the Indian healthcare context. Her primary research focuses on robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures, with a landmark contribution being the first study in India on robotic adrenalectomy. This foundational work, detailed in her most-cited paper "Robotic assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy: Initial experience from a tertiary care centre in India" (2014, 14 citations), demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of this advanced technique for treating adrenal disorders in a tertiary care setting. By establishing the viability of robotic approaches in resource-constrained environments, Dr. Abraham has helped bridge the gap between global surgical innovations and local clinical practice. Her research has not only expanded treatment options for patients with surgically correctable adrenal conditions but has also paved the way for broader adoption of robotic surgery in India. Through her pioneering efforts, Dr. Abraham continues to shape the future of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, inspiring a new generation of surgeons to embrace technological advancements in patient care.
