About
Ranjan Arianayagam is a urological surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and advancing perioperative care for prostate and bladder cancer patients. His most impactful work includes a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on prophylactic pelvic drain placement after RALP with pelvic lymph node dissection, which critically assessed the clinical benefit of this common practice and has garnered 20 citations. Arianayagam also made significant contributions to surgical education through a real-time learning curve analysis of RALP, using a large single-centre dataset spanning 2008–2019 to move beyond arbitrary case-number cutoffs—a study cited 15 times. His forward-looking perspective is evident in a 2021 review on the evolution of image guidance in RALP, offering a glimpse into future surgical precision. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he demonstrated leadership by detailing safe cystectomy service protocols for bladder cancer patients at a high-volume centre. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 50 across these key works, Arianayagam’s research directly informs evidence-based surgical practice and training, making him a respected voice in robotic urologic oncology.
