About
Bhaskar Somani is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic technology, and digital healthcare innovation. Based primarily at the University of Southampton, Somani has established himself as a leading authority in urological oncology and advanced surgical techniques, with particular expertise in robotic and laparoscopic procedures for kidney, prostate, and bladder cancers. His most influential contribution — a 2012 systematic review comparing robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, garnering 290 citations — helped shape evidence-based practice in kidney-sparing surgery. He has consistently applied rigorous meta-analytic methodology to evaluate competing surgical approaches, including radical prostatectomy techniques, cystectomy, and upper urinary tract malignancies, providing clinicians with critical comparative data to guide treatment decisions. Somani has also demonstrated a forward-thinking interest in emerging technologies, authoring significant reviews on digital healthcare transformation, artificial intelligence in robotic oncological surgery, and the evolving landscape of robotic platforms in urology. His work on robotic flexible ureteroscopy reflects his commitment to tracing the frontier of surgical innovation. With a body of work accumulating nearly 800 citations across diverse urological domains, Somani represents a vital bridging voice between surgical practice and technological advancement in modern urology.
