About
Dr. Amit S. Bhattu is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney transplantation and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). His major contributions include pioneering the first prospective randomized trial comparing robot-assisted to standard laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (78 citations), which provided critical evidence for the benefits of robotic assistance in living kidney donation. Dr. Bhattu is a key figure in the multi-institutional ROBUUST collaborative, where he has led landmark studies on robotic versus laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (58 citations), risk factors for intravesical recurrence (45 citations), and the role of lymph node dissection in UTUC (29 citations). His research has shaped modern surgical practice by demonstrating improved outcomes with robotic approaches and identifying prognostic factors that guide clinical decision-making. With over 230 citations across his most influential works, Dr. Bhattu’s contributions have significantly advanced the fields of transplant surgery and uro-oncology, establishing him as an authority on robotic urologic surgery.
