About

Mrinal Pahwa is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches in urology. Operating largely within the context of developing nations, Pahwa has made notable contributions to comparative surgical research, most prominently through his widely cited 2019 study examining open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted pyeloplasty for pelviureteric junction obstruction, which has accumulated 38 citations and serves as a valuable reference for urologists worldwide. His earlier 2014 work defining the pros and cons of these approaches in a developing nation context (27 citations) demonstrated a committed effort to translate advanced surgical innovations into resource-constrained healthcare settings. Pahwa has also emerged as a credible voice in robotic adrenalectomy, contributing multiple peer-reviewed studies on its safety, feasibility, and evolving role compared to conventional laparoscopy. His research portfolio extends further to robotic ureteral reimplantation, donor nephrectomy, and radical prostatectomy outcomes, reflecting a broad and clinically grounded surgical expertise. Together, his publications underscore a career dedicated to rigorous outcomes-based research that meaningfully informs surgical decision-making.
