Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Bhovineey Ramanathan on Frailty-Based Risk Assessment in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy



The 15th World Probiotics & Gut Health Conference, taking place from December 17–19, 2025 at Novotel Al Barsha, Dubai, UAE & Online, proudly features experts who are redefining modern clinical practice and gastrointestinal research. Among them is Dr. Bhovineey Ramanathan, a distinguished gastroenterologist from Monash RPH, Australia, whose work is reshaping how surgeons and clinicians approach operative risk in gastrointestinal surgery.


A Critical Look at Frailty in Surgical Outcomes

Dr. Ramanathan’s session,
“Frailty as a Predictor of Postoperative Outcomes in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Cohort Study From Northern Adelaide Local Health Network”,
brings attention to the growing importance of frailty assessment in predicting postoperative risks.

Even though laparoscopic cholecystectomy is widely known as a routine and safe surgical procedure, modern evidence highlights that chronological age alone is insufficient to understand patient vulnerability. Dr. Ramanathan’s research demonstrates how frailty is a stronger clinical indicator, providing a more accurate prediction of complications, prolonged hospital stays, and recovery patterns.


Why This Research Matters

  • Precision Risk Stratification: Frailty scores offer a deeper insight into surgical risk than age or individual comorbidities.
  • Better Preoperative Planning: Early identification of frailty enables tailored interventions, nutritional optimization, and reduced postoperative complications.
  • Improved Patient Safety: Proactive management for frail patients can minimize ICU admissions and improve recovery outcomes.
  • Evidence-Based Surgical Decision-Making: The study supports integrating frailty indices into routine preoperative evaluation for gallbladder surgeries.
