About

Fahad Sheckley is a urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery, with a specialized focus on advancing single-port (SP) robotic techniques. His primary research areas include renal oncology, adrenal surgery, and the refinement of robotic platforms to reduce surgical morbidity. Sheckley’s major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and comparative effectiveness of SP robotic approaches for complex urologic procedures. His most cited work, a 2022 propensity-score-matched study comparing single-port versus multiport partial nephrectomy (40 citations), provides critical evidence that SP surgery can achieve comparable perioperative and short-term outcomes while potentially reducing invasiveness. He has also pioneered novel techniques, such as a modified single-port partial nephrectomy that allows simultaneous peritoneal and retroperitoneal access—a technical innovation detailed in a 2024 publication. Additionally, his institutional experience with SP robotic adrenalectomy (2024) offers a standardized surgical technique and valuable perioperative outcome data. Through these contributions, Sheckley is helping to define the next generation of scarless, patient-centered urologic surgery, with his work collectively cited over 60 times and establishing him as a key voice in the adoption of SP robotic platforms.
