About
Kaushik P. Kolanukuduru is a rising surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the management of urologic cancers and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and bladder cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment, and the integration of liquid biopsy biomarkers into clinical decision-making. Dr. Kolanukudu has made significant contributions to comparative effectiveness research, most notably through a propensity-matched analysis of en-bloc HoLEP versus robot-assisted simple prostatectomy for BPH (8 citations), providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. He has also advanced the understanding of robot-assisted radical cystectomy outcomes through a landmark 12-year multicenter analysis of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (6 citations), demonstrating durable survival benefits. His innovative work on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after radical cystectomy (2 citations) suggests that patients with undetectable ctDNA may safely undergo less intensive imaging surveillance—a finding with direct implications for reducing healthcare burden and patient anxiety. Additionally, Dr. Kolanukuduru has contributed to the development of the hood technique for radical prostatectomy, a modification designed to preserve anterior urethral structures and improve early postoperative recovery. His research portfolio, which also includes predictive modeling integrating genomic classifiers and MRI findings, reflects a commitment to precision medicine and minimally invasive surgical innovation.
