Research Presentations

• 10/2017 - 10/2018: Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Sciences, India, Principal Investigator, Dr Rakesh Katna
  • We did a prospective study of 531 patients with oral cavity malignancy to assess the impact of comorbidity on the post operative. We, in our study also compared two comorbidity scoring systems to evaluate which one out of the two is a better predictor of post operative outcome among Indian patients. This is one of the largest multicenter prospective study among Indian patients to study the impact of comorbidities on the post operative outcome among patients with oral cavity cancer.
• 06/2017 – 04/2019: Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Sciences, India Principal Investigator, Dr Prakash Patil, Dr Rakesh Katna
  • We did a descriptive study among patients with Papillary thyroid cancers to determine whether a prophylactic central compartmental neck dissection should be preferred over therapeutic neck dissection in the Indian context.          
• 03/2014 – 06/2015: CSI Holdsworth Memorial Hospital, Mysore, India, Principal Investigator, Dr Reuben Prakash Jackayya                               
  • We performed a randomised controlled trial to compare the incidence of venous thromboembolism in high risk general surgical patients on single pharmacological thromboprophylactic agent versus single pharmacological thromboprophylaxis with graduated compression stockings. This study was part of my thesis
• 01/2014 – 03/2014: CSI Holdsworth Memorial Hospital Mysore, India, Principal Investigator, Dr Reuben Prakash Jackayya
  • We performed a retrospective study to study the incidence of venous thromboembolism in our hospital among high risk general surgical patients on single pharmacological thromboprophylactic agent (unfractionated heparin/ Low molecular weight heparin) and presented our data in the general surgery state conference in February 2015.
• 02/2010 - 04/2010: St John's Medical College, Bangalore, India, Principal Investigator, Dr Bobby Joseph, Dr Naveen Ramesh 
  • I worked as a principal investigator and evaluated the profile of occupational accidents that we came across in a rural plantation based hospital.

• 04/2008 - 10/2008: St John's Medical College, Bangalore, India, Principal Investigator, Dr Swarna Rekha, Dr Suman Rao
