About

Dr. Srinivas Chilukuri is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work centers on the application of advanced three-dimensional (3D) modeling and virtual reality (VR) technologies to improve outcomes in complex oncologic surgeries, particularly for children with bilateral Wilms tumor (BWT). His landmark 2024 paper, which has already garnered 4 citations, demonstrates how preoperative VR reconstruction allows surgeons to foresee intricate renal anatomy, thereby enhancing the precision and safety of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). By translating 2D imaging into immersive 3D visualizations, Dr. Chilukuri’s contributions directly address the formidable challenge of preserving healthy kidney tissue in bilateral cases—a technique that can reduce long-term morbidity. This work not only showcases his technical expertise in surgical planning but also underscores a broader commitment to integrating cutting-edge digital tools into pediatric oncology. His research has the potential to set new standards for preoperative preparation, making complex procedures more predictable and less invasive. For students and researchers, Dr. Chilukuri exemplifies how innovation at the intersection of surgery and technology can transform patient care, offering a roadmap for future studies in image-guided interventions and VR-assisted medicine.
