About
Josh Kaplan is a urologic surgeon whose work focuses on the advanced application of robotic surgery to manage complex complications following radical cystectomy. His key research area centers on the minimally invasive management of ureteroileal anastomotic strictures, a challenging condition occurring in 4% to 9% of patients after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Kaplan’s major contribution is demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted ureteroileal reimplantation as a primary treatment for these strictures, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgical repair. His most cited work, including a 2015 video presentation in the *Journal of Urology* and a subsequent 2016 study, has been cited a total of 4 times, establishing a foundational technique in the field. By detailing a successful case of post-cystectomy stricture repair, Kaplan has provided a valuable roadmap for surgeons seeking to manage this difficult complication robotically, potentially reducing patient morbidity. His work underscores the expanding role of robotics in reconstructive urology, marking him as a contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive post-cancer care.
