About
Dr. Nikita Shrivastava is a rising leader in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, whose work is reshaping the surgical management of kidney and ureteric diseases. Her primary research focuses on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), particularly through comparative effectiveness studies of surgical techniques. In her landmark 2023 systematic review for the European Association of Urology Young Academic Urologists, Dr. Shrivastava critically evaluated the off-clamp versus on-clamp debate in RAPN, questioning long-held assumptions with rigorous quantitative synthesis. This work, alongside her 2024 meta-analysis comparing transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches (20 citations), has provided surgeons with evidence-based guidance for minimizing renal ischemia and preserving function. Her clinical contributions extend to benign ureteric disease, where she has pioneered robot-assisted reconstructive techniques using the Da Vinci Xi system, demonstrating feasibility and safety in challenging cases. With over 40 citations across her most influential papers, Dr. Shrivastava’s research is already shaping international practice patterns. Her ability to synthesize complex evidence and translate it into actionable surgical insights marks her as a key voice in the next generation of urologic surgeons dedicated to advancing minimally invasive care.
