About

Dr. Sudhir Kalhan is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic surgery, with a specialized focus on bariatric and complex abdominal wall reconstruction. His research has significantly advanced the application of robotic platforms in high-stakes surgical scenarios, particularly for morbidly obese and super obese patients. In his landmark study, "Robot-Assisted Sleeve Gastrectomy in Morbidly Obese Versus Super Obese Patients" (49 citations), Dr. Kalhan demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques in this challenging population, establishing a benchmark for minimally invasive bariatric care. He further solidified his expertise through a comprehensive "Review of contemporary role of robotics in bariatric surgery" (49 citations), which synthesized outcomes and complications to guide surgical decision-making. Dr. Kalhan’s innovative spirit is also evident in his work on rare pathologies, such as the "Robot-Assisted Excision of a Large Retroperitoneal Schwannoma" (30 citations), where he showcased the robotic approach’s ability to provide minimally invasive benefits for complex tumor resections. Most recently, his description of the "Robotic Extended-View Totally Extraperitoneal Transversus Abdominis Release (eTEP/TAR) Without Crossover" (2020) represents a cutting-edge technique for large incisional hernias, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in hernia repair. With a career marked by technical ingenuity and a commitment to improving patient outcomes, Dr. Kalhan’s work continues to inspire surgeons seeking to harness the full potential of robotics in general surgery.
