About

R. Raobaikady is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery. Their key research focuses on advancing robotic surgical techniques to reduce hospital stays and improve patient recovery outcomes. Raobaikady’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of day-case robotic liver surgery, a paradigm-shifting approach that challenges traditional recovery timelines for procedures like liver resections. Their landmark 2024 case series, which has already garnered 2 citations, provides early evidence that select patients with small parenchymal lesions can undergo complex robotic procedures and be discharged within 24 hours—a significant departure from the multi-day hospitalizations typical of open surgery. This work highlights the potential to minimize the impact of large incisions on patient recovery, a critical factor in postoperative outcomes. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible in day-case hepatobiliary surgery, Raobaikady is paving the way for more efficient, patient-centered care in tertiary centres. Their research promises to transform surgical protocols and offers a glimpse into the future of liver surgery.
