About

Bhavan Prasad is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, oncology, and digital health innovation. With a career defined by rigorous systematic reviews and prospective clinical studies, Prasad has made substantial contributions to advancing robotic and laser-assisted urological procedures. His landmark Cochrane review on robotic versus open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer (2019, 136 citations) helped clarify the genuine clinical benefits of robotic approaches, while earlier meta-analyses examining the same comparison (2014) laid important groundwork for this evolving debate. His research into holmium laser enucleation of the prostate versus simple prostatectomy (2015, 86 citations) has meaningfully informed surgical decision-making for benign prostatic enlargement. Prasad's evaluation of the NeuroSAFE technique in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (2017, 73 citations) demonstrates his commitment to preserving patient quality of life alongside oncological outcomes. Beyond the operating theatre, his widely cited review of digital healthcare transformation (2022, 93 citations) reflects an impressive breadth of vision. Collectively accumulating over 700 citations, Prasad's body of work continues to shape contemporary urological practice and healthcare delivery globally.
