About
Dr. Evan Patel is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the frontiers of urologic oncology and global surgical access. His research centers on three key pillars: advancing telesurgery, refining robotic prostatectomy techniques, and analyzing the long-term impacts of cancer screening policies. Dr. Patel’s most impactful contribution is his landmark 2024 study, “Expanding Surgical Frontiers Across the Pacific Ocean,” which demonstrated the first-ever successful transpacific telesurgery in animal models between Orlando and Shanghai. This proof-of-concept work, with 21 citations, proves the viability of low-latency robotic surgery across vast distances, a feat requiring unprecedented international collaboration. He has also made significant clinical contributions by comparing the da Vinci SP and Xi platforms for radical prostatectomy, and by developing a novel “bunching” peritoneal flap technique to reduce post-surgical lymphoceles. His comprehensive review on telesurgery ethics and technology, alongside a critical analysis of the USPSTF’s PSA screening recommendations, showcases his dual focus on innovation and patient-centered outcomes. With over 60 citations across his recent publications, Dr. Patel is a leading voice in the next generation of minimally invasive and remotely accessible surgical care.
