About

Uma M. Sachdeva is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for esophageal and lung cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted platforms and intraoperative imaging. Her major contributions center on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through novel imaging modalities. In her highly cited narrative review on intraoperative fluorescence imaging in esophagectomy, she explores how this technology—especially when integrated with robotic systems—can reduce complications and enhance visualization during complex procedures. She has also advanced the field of lung cancer surgery, authoring key papers on imaging-guided segmentectomy and mediastinal approaches. With her work accumulating citations across these critical areas, Sachdeva is recognized for bridging cutting-edge imaging technology with practical surgical applications. Her achievements include pioneering the use of fluorescence imaging on robotic platforms, a technique that promises to refine oncologic resections and improve recovery. For students and researchers, Sachdeva’s work exemplifies how surgical innovation can directly translate into better, safer care for patients with thoracic malignancies.
