About
Nilesh Patil is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic-assisted surgery. His work centers on refining minimally invasive techniques for complex urological conditions, with a particular focus on prostate cancer management and reconstructive procedures. Patil’s most influential contribution is his multi-institutional, multinational evaluation of robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch, a study that has garnered 148 citations and established new standards for treating ureteral injuries. He also made significant strides in improving surgical outcomes through his modified posterior reconstruction of the rhabdosphincter during robotic prostatectomy, a technique cited 56 times that enhances postoperative continence. His practical expertise is further demonstrated in his highly cited guide on launching a successful robotic surgery program (53 citations), which has become an essential resource for institutions worldwide. Patil has also reported on the efficacy of robotic-assisted ureterovaginal fistula repair (49 citations) and developed a grading system for cystographic leakage following prostatectomy (40 citations). Through these contributions, Patil has not only advanced surgical precision but also provided the foundational knowledge necessary for the widespread adoption of robotic urologic surgery.
