About

Rameela Chandrasekhar has made foundational contributions to robotic surgery, particularly in surgical simulation and urologic oncology. Her work centers on validating and advancing the Robotic Surgical Simulator (RoSS), a virtual reality platform for training on the da Vinci Surgical System. She led the content validation study of the RoSS prototype (87 citations), establishing its effectiveness in preparing surgeons for minimally invasive procedures. Chandrasekhar also co-authored a landmark multinational survey of 297 urologic surgeons (80 citations), providing critical insights into the global adoption and challenges of robot-assisted surgery. Her research further explores the impact of patient factors, such as body mass index, on surgical outcomes in robot-assisted intracorporeal ileal conduit procedures. Additionally, she contributed to the development of the marionette technique for robot-assisted urinary diversion, demonstrating her role in refining complex surgical methods. With over 200 combined citations, Chandrasekhar’s work has shaped training standards and operative practices in robotic urology, making her a key figure in the integration of simulation technology and evidence-based surgical innovation.
