About
Saseem Poudel is a rising figure in the field of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a focused expertise in esophagectomy and surgical ergonomics. His most impactful contribution is the development of a standardized protocol for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy, a landmark work that demonstrates how structured procedural steps can simultaneously improve operating room efficiency and reduce healthcare costs. This protocol, which has already garnered 4 citations in its first year, offers a replicable framework for surgical teams aiming to optimize both patient outcomes and resource utilization. Complementing this technical work, Poudel has also advanced the understanding of human factors in robotic surgery through a narrative review that systematically examines ergonomic risks and their educational implications for surgical trainees. By bridging the gap between surgical technique and team safety, his research addresses a critical, often-overlooked dimension of robotic surgery. Poudel’s work is notable for its practical, systems-level approach—moving beyond individual surgeon skill to consider the broader operational and human factors that determine surgical success. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of surgical innovation, cost-effectiveness, and patient safety.
