Shailesh Gupta

About

Shailesh Gupta is a pioneering minimally invasive surgeon whose research focuses on advancing ventral hernia repair through laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques. His work directly compares operative approaches—including intra-peritoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) plus, robotic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP), and enhanced view total extraperitoneal (eTEP) retrorectus repairs—to optimize patient outcomes. In a landmark 2024 study (11 citations), he detailed his team’s technique and early outcomes comparing laparoscopic IPOM plus to robotic TAPP for primary ventral hernias, providing critical guidance for surgical decision-making. His 2025 retrospective analysis (5 citations) evaluated extraperitoneal, retrorectus access laparoscopic and robotic repairs, while a separate real-world study (4 citations) offered the first comparative evidence of these techniques in India, assessing postoperative pain, analgesic use, and quality of life. Collectively, Gupta’s work has been cited over 20 times, establishing him as a key contributor to evidence-based hernia surgery. His research empowers surgeons to choose the most effective, patient-centered approach, bridging the gap between established laparoscopy and emerging robotic platforms.
