About
Muddassar Hussain is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robot-assisted minimal access surgery, particularly for renal and prostate procedures. His most impactful work includes the preclinical evaluation of the Versius Surgical System, a novel robotic platform for urological surgery, which has garnered 94 citations and established foundational evidence for its clinical adoption. Hussain has made substantial contributions to refining surgical techniques for challenging patient populations, as demonstrated in his study on retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in obese patients, where he reported outcomes from 127 cases with BMI ≥30 kg/m². His expertise in surgical planning is further evidenced by his validation of three nephrometry scoring systems—RENAL, PADUA, and SPARE—for predicting peri-operative outcomes in retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, a study involving 322 consecutive patients. Additionally, his 10-year institutional experience with retroperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty provides long-term evidence supporting this minimally invasive approach for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. With a research portfolio spanning over 400 citations, Hussain's work has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of retroperitoneal robotic techniques, helping to establish best practices and expand the indications for robot-assisted urological surgery.
