About
Ankur Mittal is a urological surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive urology, and complex surgical innovation. His most celebrated contribution is the development of the "Hood Technique" for robotic radical prostatectomy, a refined anatomical approach that preserves periurethral structures in the Space of Retzius while sparing the Pouch of Douglas — enabling patients to regain urinary continence significantly earlier without compromising cancer clearance. This landmark 2020 paper has accumulated over 150 citations, establishing Mittal as a recognized innovator in functional outcomes following robotic prostatectomy. Beyond prostate surgery, Mittal has made meaningful contributions to robot-assisted reconstructive urology, particularly pyeloplasty for pelviureteric junction obstruction, and has explored the nuanced balance between technological advancement and resource-conscious surgical decision-making. His casework extends into rare and challenging clinical scenarios, including female urethral carcinoma, robotic nephron-sparing surgery during pregnancy complicated by hydatid disease, and the successful revascularization of an iatrogenic superior mesenteric artery injury — demonstrating both technical versatility and composure under surgical complexity. His body of work reflects a surgeon committed to pushing the boundaries of robotic urology while keeping patient outcomes firmly at the center.
