About
Aabroo Khan is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for bladder cancer. Her research centers on refining surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes for radical cystectomy, particularly through the development and validation of robot-assisted approaches. Khan’s landmark paper, “The First 100 Consecutive, Robot-assisted, Intracorporeal Ileal Conduits,” with 93 citations, documents the evolution of a complex, minimally invasive urinary diversion technique, establishing a critical benchmark for the field. She has also been instrumental in defining postoperative quality of life, co-authoring a multi-institutional study (42 citations) that used validated instruments to compare outcomes between robotic and open surgery. Her work on readmission predictors (50 citations) and nomogram validation (17 citations) provides essential tools for risk stratification and patient counseling. Notably, Khan was among the first to describe laparoscopy-assisted robotic cystoprostatectomy in a seminal 2003 paper (50 citations), helping to pioneer the robotic approach for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Through this body of work, she has not only advanced surgical technique but also provided the evidence base for safer, more patient-centered care in urologic oncology.
