About

Francesca Khani is a urologic pathologist whose research sits at the intersection of surgical oncology and precision medicine, with a focus on prostate cancer. Her work has advanced the understanding of nerve-sparing techniques during robotic prostatectomy, particularly through the development of athermal, traction-free, risk-stratified approaches that preserve functional outcomes without compromising oncologic control. Her 2013 study on functional outcomes following robotic prostatectomy, cited 46 times, remains a foundational reference for surgeons seeking to optimize postoperative recovery. More recently, her 2021 investigation into clipless robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy has contributed to refining surgical protocols to reduce complications and improve patient quality of life. Beyond these contributions, Khani is recognized for her expertise in genitourinary pathology, where she bridges histopathologic findings with surgical decision-making. Her work has been instrumental in translating surgical technique into measurable improvements in continence and erectile function, directly impacting the standard of care for men undergoing prostate cancer surgery. Through her research, Khani continues to shape evidence-based practices in urologic oncology.
