Ali Kasraeian

About

Ali Kasraeian is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has advanced the frontiers of minimally invasive prostate and bladder surgery. His work centers on the evolution of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques, with a major focus on reducing surgical trauma and improving oncologic outcomes. Kasraeian was instrumental in the transition to laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its feasibility in human cadavers and initial clinical cases—a study that has garnered 65 citations. He has also made critical contributions to understanding surgical quality, authoring a highly cited comparison of positive surgical margins after laparoscopic versus robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (29 citations), helping surgeons refine their techniques to improve cancer control. His expertise extends to radical cystectomy, where he reported the Montsouris experience with robot-assisted cystoprostatectomy and intracorporeal anastomosis (27 citations). More recently, Kasraeian has explored novel technologies for benign prostatic hyperplasia, evaluating the safety and efficacy of Aquablation therapy. Through these contributions, he has shaped modern urologic practice, emphasizing precision, reduced morbidity, and reproducible outcomes.
