About
Senthil Gnanasekaran is a pioneering Indian surgeon advancing the field of robotic pancreatic surgery. His research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic and periampullary tumors, with a particular emphasis on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and the Frey procedure. Dr. Gnanasekaran’s major contributions include establishing the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted Frey’s procedure from an Indian perspective, a technique with 6 citations that addresses a critical gap in regional surgical literature. He has also introduced a precise method for systematic vascular control during robotic PD (4 citations), overcoming key technical challenges in minimally invasive reconstruction. Notably, he was among the first to describe external pancreatic ductal stenting (EPDS) in the context of minimally invasive PD (2 citations), a technique shown to reduce clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. His work, characterized by meticulous technique and improved ergonomics, has helped standardize advanced robotic procedures, enhancing patient outcomes. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Gnanasekaran is a leading voice in the global shift toward safer, more reproducible robotic pancreatic surgery.
