DrRuban Thanigasalam

Associate Professor Thanigasalam's research interests include improving quality of life outcomes in men undergoing robotic surgery for prostate cancer. He also has a keen interest in image gudied robotic surgery, deep learning/AI and novel techniques to integrate tools into the robotic surgery domain that may assist in achieving the optimal oncological cancer outcomes for patients.

He is lead co-investigator of theROSE study (Prospective cohort study) & Robo-sling trial(RCT),assessing functional outcomes in patients undegoing robotic prostate surgery.

Ruban is also the lead co-investigator in theP-NUT study(Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Unclamping Trial-RCT), assessing outcomes in robotic partial neprectomy following different types of unclamping of the renal artery post tumour resection. Ruban's research is based at Concord/RPA/Chris O'Brien Lifehouse Hospitals as well as the University of Sydney.
