About

Subashini Ayloo is a pioneering robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work has redefined precision in minimally invasive surgery. Her primary research focuses on advanced robotic techniques for complex biliary and pancreatic procedures, with a major emphasis on enhancing intraoperative safety. Her landmark study, "Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescent Cholangiography During Robotic Cholecystectomy" (2014, 149 citations), introduced a transformative method to visualize the biliary tree in real-time during robotic cholecystectomy. This innovation directly addresses the critical risk of bile duct injury—a severe complication occurring in 0.4% to 0.8% of cases—by reducing misperception and misinterpretation of anatomy. Ayloo’s work has been instrumental in establishing fluorescence-guided surgery as a standard adjunct, significantly improving patient outcomes. Beyond this, she has contributed extensively to the literature on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy and liver resections, demonstrating that robotic approaches can match or exceed open surgery in safety and oncologic efficacy. Her research, with hundreds of cumulative citations, has shaped modern surgical protocols, making her a leading voice in the integration of imaging technology with robotic platforms. Ayloo’s achievements underscore her commitment to advancing surgical precision and reducing complications.
