About

Sanjush Dalmia is a surgical researcher whose work centers on the rigorous evaluation of robotic surgical innovations, particularly in upper gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary procedures. His major contributions lie in applying the IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term follow-up) framework to assess the quality of evidence and reporting standards in emerging surgical technologies. In a landmark 2022 systematic review on robot-assisted anti-reflux surgery (RA-ARS), Dalmia critically examined reporting standards for this increasingly used treatment of refractory gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, highlighting gaps in how surgical innovations are evaluated. His parallel 2022 study on robot-assisted cholecystectomy similarly scrutinized reporting quality against IDEAL recommendations, revealing how robotic gallbladder surgery was introduced without adequate methodological rigor. These works, cited 13 and 11 times respectively, have been instrumental in advocating for more transparent, staged evaluation of surgical innovations. Dalmia’s research serves as a vital resource for surgeons and policymakers, emphasizing that the adoption of robotic technology must be matched by robust, standardized assessment to ensure patient safety and evidence-based practice.
