About

Dr. Sachin Kukreja is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on bariatric and hernia repair. His research is distinguished by large-scale, data-driven analyses that shape clinical practice. Dr. Kukreja’s landmark 2019 study on inguinal hernia repair, which has garnered 77 citations, provides critical insights into outcomes and predictors of complications across open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. He has also been instrumental in tracking the evolution of bariatric surgery, as evidenced by his 2022 study on five-year trends in robotic bariatric procedures (22 citations), which documents the rapid adoption of robotic techniques. Beyond these population-level analyses, Dr. Kukreja has contributed to technical innovation, including a pioneering description of robotic cystogastrostomy for pancreatic necrosis. He is also a key contributor to the development of standardized training, notably through the Masters Program Bariatric Pathway for robotic RYGB and revisional surgery. Through his work, Dr. Kukreja has helped define the modern surgical landscape, demonstrating how robotic technology can improve patient outcomes and expand the possibilities of complex abdominal surgery.
