About

Dr. Pooya Rostami is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of urologic surgery and cutting-edge digital technologies, with a primary focus on enhancing precision in robotic-assisted procedures. His most impactful work centers on the integration of three-dimensional (3D) printing and augmented reality (AR) to improve outcomes in robotic assisted partial nephrectomy—a complex kidney-sparing surgery. In his landmark 2018 study, which has garnered 79 citations, Dr. Rostami demonstrated how 3D-printed models and AR overlays can provide surgeons with enhanced spatial awareness and real-time anatomical guidance, significantly boosting surgical accuracy. This work not only advances the field of minimally invasive urology but also lays the groundwork for broader applications of mixed reality in the operating room. Additionally, Dr. Rostami has contributed to ergonomic research, identifying surgeon groups for a larger study comparing the physical demands of robotic versus traditional laparoscopic techniques. His innovative fusion of digital fabrication, augmented reality, and surgical robotics positions him as a key figure in the evolution of precision medicine, with his findings directly influencing how future surgeons train and operate.
