About

Dr. Peter Mekhail is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic prostate surgery. He is best known for developing the 360° circumferential mucosal reconstruction during transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), a step-by-step technique published in 2018 that has garnered 20 citations. This innovation aims to improve functional outcomes and reduce complications in patients with large prostate glands. Dr. Mekhail has also contributed to the field of robotic parastomal hernia repair using biologic mesh, addressing a challenging complication in urologic oncology. His research extends to salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for patients who have failed primary radiation or thermal ablation therapies, a high-stakes procedure that requires exceptional surgical skill. With a growing body of work cited by peers, Dr. Mekhail is recognized for refining complex robotic procedures to enhance patient recovery and quality of life. His dedication to surgical innovation and education makes him a valuable contributor to the advancement of urologic robotic surgery.
