About

Dr. Vivek Vishwas Mundale is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted repairs for complex diaphragmatic and thoracic pathologies. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and superior outcomes of robotic surgery for rare adult conditions, most notably Morgagni’s hernia—a congenital defect traditionally managed with open or laparoscopic approaches. In his landmark study, “Robotic Morgagni’s hernia repair in adults – A single centre experience” (2023, 2 citations), Dr. Mundale retrospectively analyzed seven cases from a tertiary care center, providing critical evidence that robotic repair offers enhanced precision, shorter recovery, and reduced complications in this niche population. Beyond this, his research portfolio explores advanced thoracoscopic and robotic strategies for mediastinal tumors, esophageal disorders, and chest wall deformities, bridging gaps between innovation and clinical practice. Though early in his citation trajectory, his work is foundational for surgeons adopting robotic platforms in thoracic surgery. Dr. Mundale’s dedication to refining surgical robotics and publishing detailed case series positions him as an emerging authority in the field, inspiring future research into minimally invasive solutions for rare thoracic conditions.
