Gundeti surgical techniques
Gundeti has developed multiple robotic surgical techniques for pediatric urology. The first is The University of Chicago RALIMA (Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Bladder Augmentation Ileocystoplasty with Mitrofanoff Appendicovesicostomy) Technique.{{Cite journal |last1=Gundeti |first1=Mohan S. |last2=Acharya |first2=Sujeet S. |last3=Zagaja |first3=Gregory P. |last4=Shalhav |first4=Arieh L. |date=Mar 2011 |title=Paediatric robotic-assisted laparoscopic augmentation ileocystoplasty and Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (RALIMA): feasibility of and initial experience with the University of Chicago technique: RALIMA: FEASIBILITY AND INITIAL EXPERIENCE |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2010.09706.x |journal=BJU International |language=en |volume=107 |issue=6 |pages=962–969 |doi=10.1111/j.1464-410X.2010.09706.x|pmid=20942829 |s2cid=31835664 }}{{Cite journal |last1=Gundeti |first1=Mohan S. |last2=Eng |first2=Michael K. |last3=Reynolds |first3=W.
