About
Hijab Khan is a leading researcher in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, with a focus on improving outcomes and surgical precision for patients with bladder and prostate cancers. Her work centers on validating predictive tools and refining operative techniques. Notably, she led a landmark study evaluating the American College of Surgeons NSQIP risk calculator for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (21 citations), demonstrating its accuracy in a national comprehensive cancer center. Khan also advanced surgical education by validating the Robotic Anastomosis Competency Evaluation (RACE) tool (15 citations), which objectively tracks trainee proficiency in urethrovesical anastomosis. Her research on gynecological organ involvement during cystectomy (14 citations) challenged the necessity of anterior exenteration in female patients, offering evidence for more conservative, organ-sparing approaches. Additionally, she developed a patient-based model to predict operative times for robot-assisted prostatectomy (13 citations), enhancing operating room efficiency. Khan’s investigation into surgeon non-technical skills and their correlation with teamwork outcomes during robotic surgery (5 citations) underscores her commitment to holistic surgical quality. Her contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines and training protocols, making her a pivotal figure in the advancement of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
