About
Dr. Akshay Gangakhedkar is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing robotic surgical techniques and improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His major contributions center on reducing postoperative complications and evaluating the impact of surgical training on patient care. In the landmark PLUS trial, he demonstrated that a peritoneal iliac flap significantly reduces lymphocele formation after robotic radical prostatectomy, a finding that has garnered 17 citations and is shaping perioperative protocols. Additionally, his investigation into urology resident involvement during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy—cited 15 times—provides critical insights into how surgical education can be balanced with optimal oncologic and functional results. This work highlights his commitment to both clinical excellence and surgical training. Dr. Gangakhedkar’s research bridges the gap between innovative surgical techniques and real-world outcomes, making him a valuable voice in the field of urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
