About

Janindra Warusavitarne is a colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of surgical outcomes and techniques in rectal cancer care. Her key research areas include sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery, the adoption and refinement of minimally invasive surgical approaches, and the use of three-dimensional imaging for preoperative planning. Her most impactful contribution is the 2017 study on "Sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery," which has garnered 92 citations, highlighting its critical role in addressing a previously underreported quality-of-life issue for patients. Warusavitarne has also been instrumental in evaluating the medium-term adoption trends for laparoscopic, robotic, and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) techniques, providing valuable insights into the evolving surgical landscape. Her work on developing a three-dimensional imaging model for TaTME preoperative planning (18 citations) demonstrates her commitment to integrating innovative technology to improve surgical precision. Additionally, she has used a modified Delphi process to explore international surgeon perspectives on robotic-assisted abdominal rectopexy. Through her research, Warusavitarne has not only advanced surgical techniques but also prioritized patient-centered outcomes, making her a notable figure in colorectal surgery.
