About

Dr. Amiel Moshfegh is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on nephron-sparing surgical techniques for renal masses, with a particular focus on laparoscopic renal cryoablation. His most-cited paper, "Laparoscopic Renal Cryoablation" (2014), addresses a critical clinical challenge: the growing recognition that radical nephrectomy can lead to suboptimal renal function, increasing risks of adverse cardiovascular events and mortality. By advancing minimally invasive, kidney-preserving approaches, Dr. Moshfegh's research aligns with evolving American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines that prioritize nephron-sparing strategies. His work has garnered attention in the urology community, with his top-cited paper accumulating 8 citations. Dr. Moshfegh's contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize outcomes for patients with renal masses, balancing oncologic control with long-term renal and cardiovascular health. Through his focus on cryoablation—a technique that uses extreme cold to destroy tumors—he has helped expand the therapeutic toolkit for urologists, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery. His research underscores the importance of tailoring treatment to preserve kidney function, a paradigm shift that continues to shape modern urologic oncology.
