About

Dr. Aziz Khambati is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for renal malignancies, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. His major contribution lies in pioneering the clampless, zero-ischemia technique by integrating radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with robotic surgery. In his landmark prospective study of 49 patients, Dr. Khambati demonstrated that RFA-assisted robotic partial nephrectomy (RFA-RPN) could achieve excellent oncologic control while preserving renal function—a critical advancement that reduces the risk of acute kidney injury associated with traditional clamping methods. This work, cited 6 times, has helped establish a safer, more functional approach to nephron-sparing surgery. Beyond this, his research portfolio explores the intersection of thermal ablation and robotic precision, offering patients a viable alternative for complex renal masses. Dr. Khambati’s contributions have been recognized in leading urology journals, and his innovative technique continues to influence surgical protocols, making him a respected figure in the field of urologic oncology and a valuable resource for trainees seeking to understand the future of kidney cancer surgery.
