About
Dr. Piyush K. Agarwal is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic surgery for prostate and bladder cancers. His most impactful work stems from his leadership within the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium (IRCC), where he spearheaded landmark studies analyzing outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy. His 2013 papers on intracorporeal urinary diversion (307 citations) and standardized complication reporting (225 citations) established critical benchmarks for safety and technique in robotic bladder cancer surgery. Dr. Agarwal also made seminal contributions to robotic prostatectomy, including technical refinements for the Vattikuti Institute Prostatectomy (151 citations) and a comprehensive safety analysis of over 3,300 patients (132 citations), which remains a cornerstone for understanding complication profiles. His work on the impact of surgeon volume on lymphadenectomy quality and the development of the PLACE scoring tool for intraoperative assessment further demonstrate his commitment to improving surgical precision and outcomes. With over 1,000 total citations, Dr. Agarwal’s research has directly shaped modern urologic oncology practice, providing the evidence base for safer, more effective robotic procedures that benefit patients worldwide.
