About
Dr. Susmit Kosta is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with severe obesity, particularly super obesity and super-super obesity. His major contributions include landmark comparative studies of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy versus gastric bypass, providing crucial long-term outcome data that guide clinical decision-making. His 2019 study on surgery in super-obese patients, cited over 50 times, established medium-term follow-up benchmarks at a high-volume center. Dr. Kosta’s most notable achievement is leading the world’s first long-distance tele-robotic bariatric surgery using the indigenous SSI Mantra robotic platform, performing one anastomosis gastric bypass remotely—a breakthrough in surgical robotics and telemedicine. This landmark case series, published in 2025, demonstrates the feasibility of remote robotic surgery, potentially expanding access to specialized care. With over 80 combined citations across his key works, Dr. Kosta’s research continues to shape best practices in bariatric surgery and advance the frontier of robotic-assisted interventions.
