About

Vikraman Gunabushanam is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on advancing robotic techniques. His most-cited work, "Robotic vs. laparoscopic colorectal surgery: an institutional experience" (2011, 121 citations), provides a critical comparative analysis that has helped shape clinical decision-making. By systematically evaluating outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic approaches, Gunabushanam demonstrated the feasibility and potential advantages of robotic surgery, including improved precision in complex pelvic dissections. This research has been instrumental in guiding surgeons as they adopt robotic platforms, contributing to the broader shift toward less invasive procedures. Beyond this landmark study, his work continues to explore surgical innovation and patient safety, with his findings cited widely in both clinical practice and subsequent research. Gunabushanam’s contributions have not only advanced the technical landscape of colorectal surgery but have also provided a foundation for evidence-based adoption of robotic technology, solidifying his reputation as a key contributor to the evolution of modern surgical care.
