About
Dr. Ashwin Sunil Tamhankar is a leading urologic oncologist whose research is reshaping surgical approaches to complex genitourinary cancers. His work centers on three critical areas: robotic surgery for upper tract urothelial carcinoma, enhanced recovery protocols in radical cystectomy, and the applicability of active surveillance for prostate cancer in the Indian population. Dr. Tamhankar’s landmark study on robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy with extended template lymphadenectomy (14 citations) provides crucial outcome data for this rare disease, establishing a benchmark for surgical technique. He further advanced perioperative care by demonstrating the successful implementation of ERAS protocols in robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit diversion (11 citations), moving beyond the learning curve to show tangible patient benefits. Notably, his investigation into low-risk prostate cancer in India (10 citations) challenges prevailing assumptions about disease aggressiveness in Asian men, arguing that active surveillance is a valid and safe option. Beyond his clinical research, Dr. Tamhankar has contributed to the discourse on urological subspecialty training in India, reflecting his commitment to shaping the next generation of surgeons. His work consistently bridges evidence-based innovation with the practical realities of Indian healthcare.
