About
Gaurav Pahouja is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of kidney and bladder cancers. His primary research focus is the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery versus traditional open approaches for complex urologic malignancies. Dr. Pahouja’s most impactful contribution is a 2022 study on robotic-assisted tumor enucleation versus standard partial nephrectomy for low and intermediate complexity renal masses, which has garnered 22 citations and provides critical evidence on perioperative, renal functional, and oncologic outcomes. He has also investigated the feasibility of transitioning from standard robotic prostatectomy to the Retzius-sparing approach, and compared robotic versus open radical nephrectomy for very large tumors. His work on robotic versus open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, examining complications, survival, and opioid prescribing patterns, reflects a commitment to optimizing patient recovery and reducing opioid use. Additionally, Dr. Pahouja has contributed to the literature on rare complications, such as chylous ascites following robotic partial nephrectomy. His research is instrumental in guiding surgical decision-making and improving outcomes for patients undergoing complex urologic oncology procedures.
