About

Pramod Krishnappa is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical outcomes and sexual rehabilitation in prostate cancer care. His primary research areas include robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), surgical complication management, and erectile dysfunction treatment. Krishnappa’s most cited paper, “Complications of robot assisted radical prostatectomy” (2019, 7 citations), provides a critical safety framework for the urology community, detailing the risks associated with the now-preferred surgical approach for localized prostate cancer. His more recent work, “A Comparative Study of Simultaneous and Delayed Penile Prosthesis During Robot‐Assisted Radical Prostatectomy” (2025, 2 citations), tackles a pressing clinical challenge: restoring sexual function in patients with preexisting erectile dysfunction. By comparing simultaneous versus delayed inflatable penile prosthesis placement during RARP, Krishnappa offers evidence-based guidance on optimizing sexual rehabilitation outcomes. Though early in its citation trajectory, this study addresses a significant gap in post-prostatectomy quality of life. Krishnappa’s contributions bridge surgical precision with patient-centered recovery, making his research valuable for urologists and oncologists seeking to minimize complications while maximizing functional restoration. His work underscores a commitment to refining robotic techniques and improving long-term patient well-being.
