About
Dr. Amit Joshi is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of urologic and hernia surgery. His research focuses on the intersection of robotic-assisted procedures, specifically the concurrent management of inguinal hernias during radical prostatectomy and the repair of complex, recurrent hernias. Dr. Joshi’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing simultaneous robotic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAP) herniorrhaphy during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, a technique that addresses the 5–12% of prostate cancer patients with detectable hernias. His highly cited 2010 paper (45 citations) on this concurrent approach has become a foundational reference, helping to streamline care and reduce the need for secondary surgeries. Additionally, his 2014 case report (27 citations) on a robotic-assisted repair of a giant incarcerated recurrent inguinal hernia containing the bladder and ureters showcases his expertise in tackling exceptionally challenging cases. This work highlights the versatility of robotic platforms in complex pelvic anatomy. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Joshi has not only improved surgical outcomes but also expanded the boundaries of what is achievable with minimally invasive techniques, earning him recognition as a leader in robotic herniorrhaphy.
