About

Kurinchi Selvan Gurusamy is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery through rigorous evidence synthesis and innovative trial design. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, laparoscopic techniques, and the management of small renal masses. Gurusamy is best known for his pioneering Cochrane reviews comparing robotic assistants to human assistants in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which have collectively garnered over 70 citations and helped clarify the controversial role of robotics in gallbladder surgery. His most impactful recent contribution is the NEST (Nephron Sparing Treatment) feasibility trial, which introduced a novel cohort-embedded randomised controlled design to compare percutaneous cryoablation and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for small renal masses—a landmark study that has already accumulated 42 citations and addresses the critical challenge of surgical overtreatment in kidney cancer. Gurusamy’s work is distinguished by its methodological rigor, including protocols for trials on minimally invasive versus open pancreatoduodenectomy. His research has directly shaped clinical guidelines and trial methodology, making him a vital voice in evidence-based surgery and a key resource for students and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of robotic and nephron-sparing interventions.
