About
Dr. Somasundaram Soundappan is a pioneering paediatric surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex congenital conditions. His primary research focuses on robotic and laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery, particularly the management of choledochal cysts in children. Dr. Soundappan’s landmark study, "Comparison of perioperative surgical outcomes following total robotic and total laparoscopic Roux-en Y hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cyst in paediatric population," published in 2023, has already garnered 7 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the field. This work provides critical preliminary evidence that robotic-assisted surgery offers comparable or superior outcomes to traditional laparoscopic approaches, including reduced operative times and fewer complications, in a delicate paediatric population. By systematically evaluating these advanced techniques, Dr. Soundappan has helped establish safer, more effective standards for hepatobiliary reconstruction in children. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between emerging robotic technology and real-world clinical practice, offering young patients and their families improved surgical options. As a researcher at a tertiary referral centre, Dr. Soundappan continues to shape the future of paediatric surgery, inspiring both clinical innovation and rigorous outcomes research.
