Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) is a newer surgical technique that can be used to remove pancreatic cancer. This technique involves the use of a robotic surgical system, which is controlled by the surgeon. The surgeon is able to see inside the patient’s body and direct the movements of the robotic arms, which are equipped with small surgical instruments. Dr. Srivatsan has co- authored and published 34 Research papers in various international & national journals which includes the prestigious “Coimbatore Summit Statements” on Laparoscopic Pancreatic Resection published in “Surgical Oncology”.
