About
Dr. Jose M. El-Asmar is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, oncology, and digital health. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted urologic oncology, surgical innovation, and predictive biomarkers for prostate cancer. Dr. El-Asmar’s most impactful contribution is his leadership in integrating telemetry into aquablation therapy—a novel approach that allows for remote proctoring during water-jet ablation of prostate tissue. This work, cited 27 times, has significant implications for expanding access to advanced surgical techniques in underserved regions. He also developed a novel nomogram incorporating the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio to predict lymph node involvement in prostate carcinoma, offering a cost-effective tool for preoperative risk stratification. In the operating room, Dr. El-Asmar has advanced robotic partial nephrectomy by demonstrating the benefits of a four-arm technique using bariatric ports, which reduced operative time and improved surgeon independence. His studies on the AirSeal® system have further refined pain management and complication profiles in robotic prostatectomy. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on translating technical innovation into tangible patient outcomes, Dr. El-Asmar is a rising voice in the future of urologic surgery.
