About
Dr. Ali Afshar is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). His major contributions lie in the clinical evaluation and adoption of Aquablation therapy using the AQUABEAM Robotic System, a novel waterjet ablation technology that offers precise, tissue-sparing relief for enlarged prostates. Dr. Afshar led a pivotal post-market use-results survey assessing the safety, efficacy, and patient-reported outcomes of this robotic procedure specifically in a Japanese population, demonstrating its effectiveness in a diverse cohort. His research has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited paper accumulating 4 citations, reflecting growing interest in robotic-assisted urological interventions. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Afshar is recognized for his commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into clinical practice, improving surgical precision and patient recovery. His work not only expands therapeutic options for BPH but also sets a benchmark for global adoption of Aquablation, making him a key figure in the evolution of urological robotics and patient-centered care.
