About
Divya Bhandari is a clinical researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in urologic oncology, with a particular focus on post-operative recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her research rigorously examines the duration and influencing factors of postoperative urinary incontinence (PUI), a critical complication affecting quality of life for prostate cancer patients. In her highly cited 2023 study, Bhandari conducted a single-center retrospective cohort analysis in a Japanese community hospital, identifying key predictors of PUI duration and demonstrating that while approximately 90% of patients improve within one year, immediate post-catheter outcomes vary significantly. This work, which has already garnered 24 citations, provides actionable insights for clinicians managing patient expectations and tailoring rehabilitation protocols. Bhandari’s contributions are particularly valuable for bridging the gap between high-volume academic centers and community practice, offering evidence-based guidance for a common yet distressing surgical complication. Her findings underscore the importance of patient-specific factors in recovery trajectories, making her a rising voice in the effort to enhance functional outcomes and long-term well-being after prostate cancer surgery.
