About

Simran Chandhok is a surgical researcher focused on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly in hepatobiliary surgery. Her primary research area is robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (RC), where she critically evaluates its role relative to the established gold standard of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Chandhok’s major contribution is a comprehensive 2022 review that synthesizes current evidence on RC, clarifying its current status and future applications. This work, which has garnered 20 citations, serves as a key resource for surgeons weighing the benefits of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches. She further contributes to the field with a published letter offering nuanced commentary on the comparative outcomes of robotic and conventional cholecystectomies. By systematically defining where RC excels and where it falls short, Chandhok provides essential guidance for clinical decision-making and helps shape the trajectory of surgical innovation. Her work is particularly valuable for trainees and researchers seeking evidence-based insights into the evolving landscape of robotic surgery.
