About
Anup Patel is a urologist and researcher specializing in minimally invasive endourology, with a particular focus on the surgical management of kidney stones using cutting-edge robotic technology. His work centers on advancing the application of robotic-assisted flexible ureteroscopy — most notably utilizing the Avicenna Roboflex system — to improve outcomes for patients with complex or large-burden urolithiasis. Patel's most significant contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and clinical utility of robotic platforms for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), including laser lithotripsy for kidney stones larger than 2 cm, a traditionally challenging patient population. His collaborative research, conducted alongside internationally recognized urological teams from Turkey, Germany, and the UAE, highlights the global relevance of this emerging surgical approach. A notable contribution includes exploring the combination of robotic flexible ureterorenoscopy with mini percutaneous lithotripsy in the supine position, broadening treatment options for complex stone disease. While his citation counts remain modest — reflecting the relatively nascent state of robotic ureteroscopy as a field — his work positions him as an early pioneer helping to define best practices in an area poised for significant growth as robotic endourology becomes increasingly mainstream.
