About
Dr. Anil Mandhani is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer, with an emphasis on maximizing cancer control while preserving neurovascular tissue and patient quality of life. His major contributions include developing the athermal trizonal nerve-sparing technique, which addresses thermal damage to neurovascular bundles—a key cause of erectile dysfunction—and demonstrating its feasibility through real-time temperature monitoring (35 citations). He also introduced a catheter-less robotic RP using a custom-made synchronous anastomotic splint, reducing patient discomfort (48 citations). His work on predictive correlations between the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) (70 citations) provides clinicians with a practical tool for assessing postoperative sexual function. Additionally, Mandhani explored nerve advancement with end-to-end reconstruction after partial neurovascular bundle resection, offering an alternative to nerve grafting (15 citations). His research, totaling over 270 citations, has significantly refined surgical techniques, improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. Notably, his contributions have earned recognition, including a second prize for innovative approaches to pelvic neuroanatomy.
