About
A Ram Doo is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the safety and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP), a key procedure in the treatment of prostate cancer. His research has made critical contributions to understanding rare but significant adverse events associated with this minimally invasive technique. In a highly cited 2012 study (23 citations), Doo documented the first report of intravesical migration of Hem-o-Lok clips without stone formation following RALRP, highlighting a previously unrecognized complication that can cause urethral irritation and obstruction. That same year, he published the first known case of peritoneal seeding of prostate cancer during RALRP (9 citations), a rare phenomenon with only three prior cases in the literature. These findings have informed surgical best practices, helping urologists refine clip application and tumor handling to prevent such complications. Doo’s work, though modest in citation volume, has had outsized impact by alerting the surgical community to underreported risks, ultimately improving patient safety in robotic prostate surgery. His meticulous case reporting continues to guide clinical decision-making and training for surgeons worldwide.
