About
Dr. Parita Ratnani is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced surgical technique and precision oncology. Her primary research focuses on optimizing outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through innovations in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) and the integration of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Dr. Ratnani’s most impactful contribution is the development of the “Hood Technique” for robotic prostatectomy, a novel approach that preserves periurethral anatomical structures to enable an early return of continence without compromising surgical margin rates—a study that has garnered 153 citations and reshaped surgical practice. She has also pioneered the use of 3D models derived from mpMRI to enhance surgical planning and execution, and has investigated the role of pelvic inflammation in aggressive prostate cancer, linking incidental findings to clinical outcomes. Her work on predicting biochemical recurrence using combined mpMRI and Decipher genomic scores (28 citations) further underscores her commitment to personalized risk stratification. Dr. Ratnani’s research is distinguished by its direct translational impact, bridging imaging, genomics, and surgical innovation to improve both oncological control and quality of life for men with prostate cancer.
