About
Dr. Suma Choorapoikayil is a leading researcher in perioperative medicine and transfusion science, with a primary focus on understanding and mitigating the risks of anemia and blood transfusion in surgical patients. Her work critically examines how different surgical modalities—including open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted approaches—influence perioperative bleeding and transfusion requirements. Her most-cited study, a 2024 propensity score-matched case-control analysis across multiple surgical disciplines, provides pivotal evidence on transfusion risk in robotic-assisted surgery, challenging assumptions about its superiority in reducing blood loss. This work has already garnered attention for its rigorous methodology and clinical relevance, accumulating citations rapidly. Dr. Choorapoikayil’s contributions are vital for developing evidence-based guidelines that optimize patient blood management and reduce unnecessary transfusions, directly impacting surgical safety and outcomes. Her research is particularly valuable for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and hematologists seeking to refine perioperative care protocols.
