About

Dr. Raghunath Prabhu is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of surgical education and digital health technologies. His primary focus lies in the integration of augmented reality (AR) into surgical training, where he investigates how immersive digital overlays can enhance skill acquisition and procedural safety in both open and laparoscopic settings. His most cited work, a 2025 narrative review on the role of AR in surgical training, synthesizes emerging evidence on how these platforms layer real-time guidance onto physical instruments and tissues, offering a structured pathway for safer, more effective learning. Though early in its citation trajectory, this work signals a growing recognition of his contributions to modernizing surgical pedagogy. Dr. Prabhu’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and hands-on clinical education, positioning him as a key voice in the movement toward simulation-based, data-driven surgical curricula. His efforts are particularly valuable for trainees and educators seeking evidence-based frameworks to adopt AR tools, making him a notable contributor to the future of surgical training.
