Rupa Bana

About

Dr. Rupa Bana is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive approaches—particularly robotic and laparoscopic surgery—for complex uterine and ovarian conditions. Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic hysterectomy for large uteri (≥16 weeks), with her most-cited paper (29 citations) comparing outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic techniques in 165 patients. She has also investigated rare but critical complications, such as port site hernias following robot-assisted hysterectomy, and explored innovative applications of artificial intelligence in pathology to quantify ovarian tissue loss during cystectomy for endometriomas. Dr. Bana’s work on robotic myomectomy for large and multiple fibroids, drawing from over a decade of single-center experience with 260 patients, underscores her commitment to expanding surgical frontiers. Her research on endometriosis and robotic-assisted surgery has helped shape clinical guidelines, offering new hope for patients with chronic pain and infertility. With a career marked by technical precision and patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Bana continues to influence the evolution of robotic gynecologic surgery.
