About
Dr. Ayman Agag is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery. His primary research focus is the validation and refinement of nephrometry scoring systems—specifically RENAL, PADUA, and SPARE—to better predict peri-operative outcomes in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. In his landmark 2020 study, Dr. Agag conducted the first external validation of these three scoring systems specifically for the retroperitoneal approach, analyzing data from 322 consecutive patients at a tertiary referral center. This work demonstrated that all three systems effectively stratify surgical complexity and predict outcomes, with the SPARE score showing particular promise for this technique. His findings have been cited over 10 times, providing crucial evidence for surgeons selecting the optimal nephrometry system in clinical practice. By systematically evaluating these tools, Dr. Agag has helped standardize preoperative planning and risk assessment, directly improving patient counseling and surgical decision-making. His contributions are especially valuable for the growing field of retroperitoneal robotic surgery, where precise anatomical scoring is essential for achieving excellent oncologic and functional outcomes.
