About

Nikhil Mayor is a surgical researcher at the forefront of urologic oncology and robotic surgery, with a focus on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His work centers on the evolution of surgical robotics, intraoperative imaging, and precision oncology. Mayor’s highly cited review, “Past, present and future of surgical robotics” (45 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the paradigm shift in minimally invasive surgery, highlighting novel robotic systems poised for clinical use. He is a key investigator in the IP8-FLUORESCE study, which explores fluorescence confocal microscopy for real-time margin assessment during radical prostatectomy, aiming to address critical challenges in pathology workflow and cost. Mayor has also pioneered the LaserSAFE technique, a confocal laser microscopy method for intraoperative margin assessment, demonstrating its feasibility in a recent study. His clinical research includes a prospective cohort study on anterior prostate cancers treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, contributing to tailored surgical approaches. With additional work on managing rare vascular injuries during robotic nephrectomy, Mayor’s research is driving safer, more precise, and technologically advanced surgical care.
