About
Dr. Anup Kumar is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing functional outcomes. His major contributions lie in refining nerve-sparing techniques during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to accelerate the return of urinary continence and erectile function. His landmark 2015 study on using dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane allografts as a nerve wrap around the prostatic neurovascular bundle demonstrated significantly faster recovery, earning 112 citations. Dr. Kumar has also pioneered the use of propensity score matching to provide robust comparative analyses of surgical outcomes across age groups, high-risk cancers, and salvage procedures, with several of these studies garnering over 40 citations each. Beyond clinical technique, he has shaped surgical education through his work on robotic simulators (61 citations), addressing the critical need for structured training curricula. His research has collectively amassed over 500 citations, establishing him as a key voice in the evidence-based evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
