About
Dr. Dharam Kaushik is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the application of robotic surgery for complex genitourinary cancers. His work focuses on improving perioperative outcomes and expanding the frontiers of minimally invasive techniques for kidney, bladder, and testicular cancers. Dr. Kaushik has made landmark contributions by systematically evaluating the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted procedures, including radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection—operations traditionally performed open. His seminal international survey on da Vinci system malfunctions during prostatectomy (61 citations) remains a critical reference for surgical safety. Through large-scale analyses of national databases like the NCDB and NSQIP, he has provided robust, real-world evidence comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches, demonstrating that robotic surgery can achieve comparable or superior outcomes with reduced morbidity. With over 190 cumulative citations, Dr. Kaushik’s work is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to understand the evidence base and evolving practice patterns in robotic urologic oncology.
