Dr. Shailesh P. Puntambekar is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and a global leader in uterus transplantation (UTx). His research centers on advancing surgical techniques for complex pelvic conditions, with a particular focus on establishing UTx as a viable treatment for uterine factor infertility.

With over 3 citations for this landmark study, Dr. Puntambekar's impact extends beyond the operating room; he is renowned for developing the "Puntambekar technique" for laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, a standard in gynecologic oncology.
