About
Dr. Vijay Naraynsingh is a pioneering surgeon whose work has transformed the landscape of minimally invasive surgery in the Caribbean. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques, particularly for colorectal cancer resections, in a region where such technologies were historically underutilized. Dr. Naraynsingh’s landmark 2021 paper, "Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery: First Report from the Caribbean" (8 citations), documented the introduction of robotic surgery to the Anglophone Caribbean, breaking down barriers to access. He further demonstrated the feasibility and safety of these techniques through pilot studies comparing conventional and freehand robot-assisted laparoscopic colectomies (2024, 3 citations), as well as his initial experience with FreeHand® robotic camera holders in Trinidad and Tobago (2022, 3 citations). Despite the modest citation counts, his work is highly impactful in a niche field, directly addressing local resistance to innovation and providing a blueprint for surgical advancement in resource-limited settings. Dr. Naraynsingh’s contributions are not merely technical; they represent a paradigm shift, bringing world-class surgical options to underserved populations and inspiring a new generation of Caribbean surgeons.
