About

Ahmed Goolam is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for urologic cancers, particularly prostate and testicular malignancies. His major contributions include a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on prophylactic pelvic drain placement after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP), which provided critical evidence that routine drainage may offer limited clinical benefit—a finding with direct implications for surgical practice. This work, published in 2020, has garnered 20 citations and remains a key reference in the field. More recently, Goolam led a worldwide multicenter study examining oncological outcomes following robotic post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer, a rare but impactful investigation that has already accumulated 10 citations since its 2024 publication. His 2025 study comparing outcomes of RALP performed by specialists versus trainees using a modular training approach with dual-console technology demonstrates his commitment to surgical education and safe skill transfer. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on evidence-based refinement of robotic techniques, Goolam is shaping both clinical protocols and training paradigms in urologic oncology.
