About

Pankaj Panwar is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques in oncology, particularly for bladder cancer and germ cell tumors. His major contributions lie in evaluating perioperative outcomes and refining surgical approaches to reduce morbidity. His most-cited study, "Perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive versus open radical cystectomy: A single-center experience" (2017, 13 citations), directly compares surgical modalities for radical cystectomy, addressing a critical gap in Indian literature by assessing whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can lower complication rates compared to open procedures. This work has informed clinical decision-making in high-volume centers. Additionally, his paper "Post chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in germ cell tumor: robotic way" (2016, 4 citations) explores the feasibility and benefits of robotic-assisted dissection after chemotherapy, showcasing his interest in applying robotic platforms to complex oncologic resections. Panwar’s research underscores a commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, with his findings contributing to the growing body of literature supporting MIS in urologic oncology. His work is particularly valuable for trainees and surgeons seeking to optimize patient outcomes through tailored surgical strategies.
