About

Arda Atar is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. His primary research areas include robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), partial nephrectomy, and innovative single-port surgical approaches. Atar’s most cited study (27 citations) investigates the impact of prior prostate surgery—such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy—on outcomes after RARP, providing critical guidance for surgical planning in complex cases. He also compared robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for small renal tumors (9 citations), demonstrating the functional and oncological advantages of the robotic approach. Notably, Atar pioneered the “single plus one port robotic radical prostatectomy” (SPORP) technique (6 citations), an early exploration of reducing surgical invasiveness while maintaining oncologic control. His contributions have helped refine robotic urologic surgery, improving patient recovery and surgical precision. With a cumulative impact of over 40 citations, Atar’s work is a valuable resource for surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize outcomes in urologic oncology.
