About
Dr. Ahmed S. Zakaria is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted surgery, prostate cancer outcomes, and urological education. His major contributions include advancing the understanding of functional and oncological outcomes in elderly men undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with his most cited paper (28 citations) demonstrating that age alone should not preclude surgical intervention. He has also pioneered research on the accuracy of handheld point-of-care ultrasound for prostate volume estimation (17 citations), comparing transabdominal and transrectal approaches to improve preoperative planning. Notably, Dr. Zakaria has investigated the safety of testosterone replacement therapy in prostate cancer patients post-RARP (14 citations), challenging conventional contraindications. His work on surgical wait times during summer months (8 citations) and residency training discrepancies in open simple prostatectomy (8 citations) highlights his commitment to both clinical efficiency and educational standards. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 90, Dr. Zakaria’s research has directly influenced Canadian urological practice, particularly in geriatric oncology and surgical training. His studies on age-stratified continence outcomes further underscore his dedication to patient-centered care, making him a pivotal figure in modern urology.
