About

Dr. Ganesh Gunasekaran is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of liver surgery. His work centers on two critical areas: optimizing minimally invasive techniques and establishing rigorous quality standards for open liver resections. Dr. Gunasekaran’s most influential contribution is his seminal 2010 study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic resection of liver tumours, which has garnered over 180 citations and helped shape the adoption of robotic approaches in complex hepatobiliary surgery. More recently, he has focused on defining excellence in open surgery, authoring the 2023 study "Novel Benchmark Values for Open Major Anatomic Liver Resection in Non-cirrhotic Patients." This work provides objective, best-achievable outcome targets—such as operative time, blood loss, and complication rates—enabling surgeons and institutions to benchmark their performance against a gold standard. By establishing these reference values, Dr. Gunasekaran has created a vital tool for quality improvement and multicenter comparisons, directly enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes. His dual focus on innovation and standardization positions him as a key figure in modern hepatobiliary surgery.
