About
Dr. Mekha Jeyanthi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in prostate cancer care. Her major contributions lie in redefining perioperative protocols for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Her landmark study, “Same‐day discharge robot‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: feasibility, safety and patient experience,” published in 2023 and already cited 22 times, demonstrated that carefully selected patients can safely undergo RALP and be discharged on the same day, challenging traditional postoperative hospitalization norms. This work not only highlights her focus on patient-centered outcomes—emphasizing feasibility, safety, and patient experience—but also showcases her role in pioneering enhanced recovery pathways in urologic oncology. By reporting on 180 consecutive patients over six years, Dr. Jeyanthi provided robust evidence that same-day discharge is both practical and well-received, potentially reducing healthcare costs and improving patient satisfaction. Her research has significant implications for streamlining surgical care, making her a notable voice in the evolution of robotic surgery and postoperative management.
