About
Tanuja Damani is a leading robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive foregut and abdominal wall surgery. Her research focuses on the safety, efficacy, and technical nuances of robotic approaches for hiatal hernia repair, ventral hernia repair, and related foregut procedures. Dr. Damani has made significant contributions by rigorously evaluating outcomes in high-volume, multispecialty settings, demonstrating that robotic primary and revisional hiatal hernia repairs are safe and yield favorable perioperative results. She has also advanced the understanding of rare but critical complications, such as cardiac tamponade from liver sling stitches, and has helped clarify the role of barbed sutures in ventral hernia fascial closure. Her work on postoperative robotic port-site hernias, with 20 citations, and her comprehensive analysis of over 9,700 patients comparing short-term outcomes in obese patients undergoing robotic ventral hernia repair, underscore her impact on evidence-based practice. With over 60 citations across her most-cited papers, Dr. Damani is a trusted voice in robotic surgery, known for her meticulous, data-driven approach that directly informs safer, more effective patient care.
