About
Dhruv Puri is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex renal and upper tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC). As a key member of the multi-institutional ROBUUST and ROSULA collaborative groups, Puri has made seminal contributions to robotic-assisted surgery, demonstrating that partial or radical nephrectomy for complex renal masses yields favorable oncological outcomes (36 citations). His work on robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) in over 1,100 patients (17 citations) established the safety and mid-term efficacy of this approach for high-risk UTUC, while his comparative analysis of robotic distal ureterectomy (10 citations) challenged the dogma against kidney-sparing surgery in high-risk distal tumors. Puri has also developed a pretreatment nomogram to predict muscle invasiveness in UTUC (4 citations), a tool that directly informs treatment selection. His investigations into the prognostic impact of diagnostic ureteroscopy (6 citations) and adjuvant immunotherapy (2 citations) have shaped clinical decision-making. With additional studies on appendiceal ureteroplasty and single-dose intravesical chemotherapy, Puri’s work consistently pushes the boundaries of robotic urologic oncology, offering patients safer, more effective surgical options.
