About
Dr. Vikram Krishnamurthy is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive adrenal surgery, particularly comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches for complex patient populations. His major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma—a challenging tumor requiring meticulous resection—and for severely obese patients, where his 2022 studies (19 and 18 citations, respectively) provide critical evidence guiding surgical decision-making. Dr. Krishnamurthy has also pioneered the use of near-infrared indocyanine green fluorescence imaging as an intraoperative tool to differentiate benign from malignant adrenal tumors, addressing the clinical challenge of indeterminate adrenal masses (2024, 4 citations). His work directly impacts surgical precision and patient outcomes in high-risk cases. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating novel imaging technologies into practice, Dr. Krishnamurthy is advancing the field of adrenal surgery by optimizing techniques for the most challenging scenarios.
