Vanlal Darlong

About

Dr. Vanlal Darlong is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative challenges of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly the hemodynamic and neurological consequences of extreme patient positioning. His seminal work, "Hemodynamic changes during robotic radical prostatectomy" (29 citations), established critical insights into the cardiovascular effects of steep Trendelenburg positioning combined with high-pressure pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). Dr. Darlong further advanced patient safety by documenting rare but serious complications, such as brachial plexus injury following robotic thymectomy (24 citations) and hemiparesis after robotic cystectomy (17 citations). His prospective study on perianaesthetic concerns during robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (18 citations) provided foundational guidance for managing patients with myasthenia gravis undergoing these procedures. Through these contributions, Dr. Darlong has significantly shaped modern anesthetic protocols, helping to mitigate risks and improve outcomes for patients undergoing complex robotic surgeries.
