About

Raman Unnikrishnan is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of complex pelvic and genitourinary pathologies. His major contributions lie in the application of robotic-assisted surgery for rare and anatomically challenging conditions. Notably, his 2017 paper on "Seminal vesicle schwannoma presenting as rectal pain: successful robotic-assisted excision" (11 citations) describes the first reported case of a seminal vesicle schwannoma successfully excised using robotic surgery, demonstrating a novel, nerve-sparing approach to a tumor typically found in the head and neck. This work highlights his expertise in translating advanced surgical techniques to rare pelvic tumors, offering patients reduced morbidity. He has also contributed to the characterization of symptomatic Müllerian duct cysts (2 citations), furthering understanding of congenital urologic anomalies. Unnikrishnan’s research bridges radiology and operative urology, providing a valuable reference for surgeons encountering unusual retrovesical masses. His work underscores the expanding role of robotics in urologic oncology and pelvic reconstructive surgery.
