About
Krishnaji Patil is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving patient outcomes in prostate cancer care, particularly through the lens of shared decision-making and surgical innovation. His major contributions lie in quantifying patient-reported experiences after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, moving beyond traditional metrics like cancer control to examine emotional and psychological outcomes. His most-cited study, a 2020 decision regret analysis with 36 citations, revealed that nearly one in five patients experience regret after surgery, identifying key predictors such as preoperative urinary function and cancer severity. This work has reshaped how clinicians counsel patients, emphasizing the need for realistic expectations and personalized risk communication. Patil’s research bridges the gap between technical surgical excellence and the human side of recovery, offering actionable insights for improving satisfaction and reducing long-term regret. His findings have been influential in urology and surgical oncology, highlighting the importance of patient-centered outcomes in an era of advanced technology.
