About
Naeem Bhojani is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the minimally invasive surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. He is best known as a leading investigator in Aquablation therapy, a robotic, image-guided water-jet ablation technique, particularly for men with large-volume prostates (80–150 cc) — a population historically underserved by existing surgical options. His pivotal contributions to the WATER II clinical trial, tracking outcomes from one year through five years, have provided the field with robust long-term safety and efficacy data, earning nearly 200 cumulative citations across those studies alone. Bhojani has also made meaningful contributions to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, introducing innovations such as barbed suture vesicourethral anastomosis and instrument-cooling techniques to minimize thermal nerve injury — work that reflects his commitment to preserving patients' functional quality of life. His comparative reviews of emerging ablative therapies, including Rezūm and transperineal laser ablation, underscore his broader role as a thought leader in surgical decision-making. Notably, his development of an online patient decision aid demonstrates a patient-centered philosophy that extends beyond the operating room, reinforcing his impact across both clinical practice and healthcare communication.
