About
Dr. Devashish Kaushal is a urologic surgeon whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, particularly within resource-constrained settings. His key research area centers on the resurgence and optimization of radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP), a procedure often overlooked in favor of more technologically intensive approaches like robotic surgery. Dr. Kaushal’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that RPP remains a highly viable, cost-effective, and oncologically sound option, especially for patients in the Indian subcontinent where access to expensive robotic platforms is limited. His seminal paper, "Case for resurgence of radical perineal prostatectomy in Indian subcontinent" (2012), has garnered 4 citations, serving as a foundational argument for revisiting this technique. By highlighting its lower morbidity and comparable outcomes, Dr. Kaushal has championed a pragmatic, patient-centered approach that expands surgical access. His work challenges the prevailing technological determinism in urology, advocating for evidence-based surgical choices that prioritize patient demographics and regional resources. Through this advocacy, he has made a lasting impact on surgical practice in developing healthcare systems.
