About
Faiz Mumtaz is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive, nephron-sparing treatments for kidney cancer, particularly for anatomically complex cases. His major contributions lie in pioneering robotic-assisted surgery for challenging renal anomalies, such as horseshoe kidneys, and in generating high-level evidence for small renal mass (SRM) management. As the lead of the landmark NEST feasibility trial (cited 21 times), he addressed a critical gap in urology by demonstrating the viability of a cohort-embedded randomized controlled trial comparing percutaneous cryoablation to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy—a study that overcame the accrual failures of previous classical RCTs. His research on minimizing renal ischemia during partial nephrectomy (9 citations) has helped refine surgical techniques to preserve kidney function. Notably, Mumtaz has also championed the use of interactive virtual 3D image reconstruction for pre- and intraoperative guidance, improving surgical precision in fusion anomalies. With over 100 combined citations across his top works, his impact is evident in both clinical practice and trial methodology, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic renal surgery and evidence-based nephron-sparing care.
