About
Dr. Ankur Mukherjee is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures for prostate and kidney conditions. His major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have shaped modern urologic practice. His 2019 study comparing Retzius-sparing versus conventional robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (66 citations) has been instrumental in refining surgical approaches to preserve urinary continence and sexual function. He has also critically evaluated trans-peritoneal versus retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy for posterior renal tumors (31 citations), advocating for risk-stratified, patient-individualized surgical planning. Additionally, Dr. Mukherjee has explored the emerging role of robotic surgery in managing renal tract calculi (20 citations), acknowledging its current limitations while identifying niche clinical applications where robotic assistance may offer advantages over standard ureteroscopy, shock wave lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. His work demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, providing urologists with data-driven guidance to optimize patient outcomes. Through these highly cited contributions, Dr. Mukherjee has established himself as a thoughtful voice in the ongoing evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
