About
Dr. Darshana Arakkal is a rising researcher in gynaecological oncology, with a focused expertise in perioperative risk assessment and robotic surgery. Her work critically evaluates surgical risk prediction models to improve patient outcomes in complex cancer care. In her landmark 2024 pilot study, "Head-to-Head Comparison: P-POSSUM and ACS-NSQIP® in Predicting Perioperative Risk in Robotic Surgery for Gynaecological Cancers," she conducted a rigorous retrospective analysis to compare the accuracy of two leading risk calculators—P-POSSUM and ACS-NSQIP—specifically for gynaecological–oncological robotic procedures. This work, already garnering 4 citations, addresses a vital gap in personalized surgical planning, offering clinicians evidence-based tools to better anticipate postoperative complications. By pioneering this comparative methodology, Dr. Arakkal contributes directly to safer, more precise surgical care for women with gynaecological cancers. Her research not only advances the field of robotic surgery but also underscores the importance of tailored risk stratification in oncology. As she continues to build on these findings, Dr. Arakkal is establishing herself as a key voice in the intersection of surgical innovation and patient safety.
