About
Dr. Ganesh S. Palapattu is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for bladder and prostate cancer patients. His major contributions center on improving recovery after radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy, particularly through reducing hospital stays and enhancing patient-reported functional outcomes. His work on shortening length of stay following radical cystectomy in a pre-ERAS population (15 citations) has informed perioperative care protocols, while his pioneering report on robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion (6 citations) helped establish minimally invasive approaches in complex urologic surgery. Dr. Palapattu has also investigated functional recovery after prostatectomy, comparing historical and contemporary surgical techniques to assess cumulative improvements. His international collaborative study on opioid consumption and pain management after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy highlights his commitment to patient-centered outcomes. Through these efforts, Dr. Palapattu has shaped modern urologic practice, advancing both surgical technique and postoperative care to improve quality of life for cancer survivors.
