About
Dr. Nandita Kakkar is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques for the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. Her major contributions lie in refining diagnostic and surgical precision. She demonstrated the superior diagnostic yield of 68Ga PSMA PET/CT-guided robotic prostate biopsy over conventional methods, a landmark study cited 38 times. For renal cancer, she has systematically validated and compared surgical outcomes, showing that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for complex hilar tumors can achieve trifecta and pentafecta outcomes comparable to non-hilar tumors of similar nephrometry scores. Her work also includes validating the SPARE nephrometry score for predicting complications and outcomes, and providing comparative data on minimally invasive versus open radical cystectomy, a critical topic in Indian literature. With over 100 citations across her most-cited works, Dr. Kakkar’s research directly informs surgical decision-making, improves patient selection, and sets benchmarks for quality in robotic urologic oncology.
