About

Kinnari Patel is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Her key research areas include robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), bladder neck preservation, and optimizing functional outcomes in prostate surgery. In her most-cited paper, "Stepwise Description and Outcomes of Bladder Neck Sparing Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy" (2020, 18 citations), Patel provides a detailed surgical protocol for preserving the bladder neck during RASP, a technique that reduces postoperative incontinence and improves recovery. Drawing on a series of 30 patients, she demonstrates that this approach maintains excellent urinary outcomes while minimizing complications. Patel’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between technical innovation and patient-centered care—her stepwise methodology has become a reference for surgeons adopting robotic approaches to BPH. Beyond this work, she is recognized for her commitment to surgical education and outcomes research, with her studies helping to standardize best practices in robotic urology. With growing citation impact, Patel is establishing herself as a leading voice in the evolution of prostate surgery.
