About
Dr. Alok K. Tewari is a pioneering urologic oncologist and robotic surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical management of prostate cancer. His primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques—particularly robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP)—to maximize oncologic control while preserving urinary continence and erectile function. In his landmark 2008 study, "Satisfaction and Regret after Open Retropubic or Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy," which has garnered over 370 citations, Dr. Tewari provided critical evidence that patients undergoing robotic surgery reported higher satisfaction and lower regret compared to those receiving open surgery. This work helped establish RALP as a gold standard, influencing clinical practice worldwide. Beyond this, Dr. Tewari has contributed extensively to the development of nerve-sparing techniques and predictive models for surgical outcomes. His research, cited thousands of times, continues to guide surgeons in optimizing patient quality of life after prostate cancer treatment. A prolific educator and innovator, Dr. Tewari’s legacy lies in bridging surgical precision with patient-centered outcomes.
