About
Dr. Naresh Badlani is a uro-oncologist whose research focuses on advancing surgical techniques for genitourinary cancers, particularly penile carcinoma and the safety of robotic surgery during global health crises. His most impactful work, a comparative study of video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) versus open inguinal lymph node dissection (O-ILND) for penile cancer, has garnered 29 citations. This research demonstrates that the minimally invasive VEIL approach offers comparable perioperative and survival outcomes to open surgery, potentially reducing morbidity for patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Badlani contributed a critical study on the safety of uro-oncology practice and robot-assisted surgery at his institute in Mumbai—then a COVID-19 hotspot. This work showed that with rigorous protocols, cancer surgeries could continue safely without compromising patient or staff health, providing a roadmap for other centers. His contributions underscore a commitment to improving surgical outcomes and ensuring access to life-saving cancer care even under extraordinary circumstances.
