Episode 10

Speaking of Robots – let’s talk robotic-assisted bariatric surgery

A really fun episode with Dr. Sachin Kukreja where I ask multiple ignorant questions about using the robot for bariatric surgery.

Quick facts on Dr. Sachin Kukreja:

  • Med School – University of Texas Health Sciences at San Antonio
  • General Surgery Training – Rush University Medical Center and Cook County
  • Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Fellowship – Medical College of Wisconsin

Fun Fact: he founded the bariatric surgery program at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago in 2010 and was the director of Bariatric Surgery at the Dallas VA. In 2016 he was the highest volume Robotic General Surgeon and did the most number of bariatric surgeries in the VA system.

Dr. Kukreja is a proctor, consultant, and speaker for Intuitive Surgical allowing him the opportunity to mentor surgeons around the country on implantation of robotic surgery technology in their practices.
