About
Ayman Hagras is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer and kidney transplantation. His most impactful work centers on the comparative effectiveness of robotic and open surgical approaches, with a particular emphasis on functional outcomes and patient recovery. In a landmark prospective study, Hagras demonstrated that Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) offers superior early continence recovery compared to open retropubic radical prostatectomy, a finding that has garnered 19 citations and helped shift clinical practice toward nerve-sparing robotic methods. Beyond prostate surgery, Hagras has contributed to the evidence base for donor nephrectomy, leading a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that evaluated urologists’ proficiency across open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. This work, published in 2024, addresses the critical need for standardized training and outcome assessment in living kidney donation. By combining rigorous comparative studies with real-world survey data, Hagras provides actionable insights that help surgeons optimize technique selection and improve patient outcomes. His research bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical application, making him a valuable voice in the evolution of urological surgery.
