About
Prasun Ghosh is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the field of kidney transplantation through the development and validation of minimally invasive robotic techniques. His primary research focus is on robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT), with a particular emphasis on improving surgical outcomes and expanding donor options. Ghosh’s most significant contribution is the development of the Vattikuti Urology Institute–Medanta technique for robotic kidney transplantation with regional hypothermia, a landmark procedure detailed in his highly cited 2013 paper (193 citations). He has been instrumental in demonstrating the comparative effectiveness of this minimally invasive approach versus traditional open surgery, as shown in his prospective cohort study of 654 patients (47 citations). Ghosh has also proven the feasibility of using grafts with multiple vessels in robotic transplantation, a finding that broadens the pool of viable donor organs. His work, which has accumulated over 320 citations, has established a new standard of care, showing that robotic transplantation can offer patients the benefits of reduced morbidity without compromising graft function.
