About

Dr. C Tanabalan has made significant contributions to urologic oncology, with a particular focus on minimally invasive renal surgery and the critical challenge of renal ischaemia during partial nephrectomy. His most cited work, "Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: How to minimise renal ischaemia" (2018, 9 citations), systematically evaluates the relationship between ischaemic time and renal damage, comparing warm versus cold ischaemia approaches. This research provides surgeons with evidence-based techniques to reduce ischaemic injury, directly improving patient outcomes in nephron-sparing surgery. Dr. Tanabalan’s work is notable for its practical, surgical guidance—offering clear strategies to minimise ischaemia without compromising oncologic control. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, his contributions are highly relevant to the growing field of robotic urology. By addressing a central dilemma in partial nephrectomy—balancing surgical precision with renal preservation—Dr. Tanabalan’s research supports safer, more effective procedures. His work is a valuable resource for urologists and trainees seeking to optimise robotic surgical techniques, underscoring his role in advancing evidence-based practice in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
