About
Dr. Ashwin Tamhankar is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly in pelvic oncology. His work spans critical areas including prostate cancer surgery, cystectomy outcomes, and innovative approaches to testicular cancer management. Dr. Tamhankar's major contributions include landmark studies on perioperative safety, such as his randomized trial comparing intracranial pressure during propofol versus sevoflurane anesthesia in robotic pelvic surgery (28 citations), and his comprehensive analysis of 12,644 radical cystectomies in England that revealed national trends in surgical approaches (19 citations). He has significantly advanced understanding of surgical learning curves, providing real-time assessment frameworks for robotic prostatectomy (15 citations), and demonstrated that continuation of low-dose aspirin during robotic prostatectomy does not compromise outcomes (16 citations). His pioneering work extends to therapeutic supine robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer and neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination in radical prostatectomy. With over 130 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Tamhankar has established himself as a leading voice in robotic urological surgery, consistently pushing boundaries through innovative techniques and rigorous outcomes analysis that directly impact clinical practice.
