About
Dr. Nawal Khan is a rising surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of urologic oncology, with a specific focus on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her primary research areas include the application of three-dimensional (3D) modeling technology and the optimization of nerve-sparing surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Khan’s major contribution lies in demonstrating, through a comprehensive meta-analysis, that the use of 3D models for preoperative planning can significantly reduce surgical complications during robotic prostate surgery. This work, which has garnered 7 citations since its 2024 publication, provides critical evidence for integrating advanced imaging into standard practice. Additionally, her 2025 study on nerve-sparing gestures examines the delicate balance between preserving erectile function and achieving negative surgical margins, a central challenge in prostate cancer surgery. Though early in her career, Dr. Khan’s research is already informing how surgeons visualize anatomy and perform these complex procedures, promising to enhance both oncologic control and patients’ quality of life.
