About
Khalid Elkhader is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and optimizing perioperative care for prostate cancer patients. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic urologic oncology, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and the safety of same-day discharge following radical prostatectomy. Elkhader’s major contribution is a comprehensive systematic review demonstrating that same-day discharge after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is both safe and feasible, challenging traditional postoperative hospitalization norms. This work, cited 23 times, has helped shift clinical practice toward more efficient, patient-centered care without compromising outcomes. His research provides critical evidence for reducing hospital stays, lowering healthcare costs, and improving patient satisfaction. Elkhader’s systematic review is notable for its rigorous methodology and its role in informing guidelines for outpatient urologic surgery. Through this and related studies, he has established himself as a key voice in the movement to modernize prostate cancer surgery, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers interested in the intersection of surgical innovation and healthcare efficiency.
