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.
- 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.
