About
Dr. Pratik Gurung is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic surgery, surgical simulation, and the optimization of outcomes for complex urological procedures. His major contributions include the multi-institutional validation of a high-fidelity, perfused simulation platform for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), using clinically relevant objective metrics (CROMS) to set new standards for training. This landmark study, with 39 citations, has reshaped how surgical skills are assessed and taught. Dr. Gurung has also pioneered the use of IRIS three-dimensional anatomical models for preoperative planning in localized renal masses, demonstrating their utility in enhancing surgical precision. His research extends to comparative analyses of robotic approaches, such as transvesical versus transabdominal bladder diverticulectomy, and the development of the Accelerated Skills Acquisition Protocol (ASAP) to streamline robotic training. With additional work on robotic radical prostatectomy in older patients and synchronous bilateral nephrectomy for polycystic kidney disease, Dr. Gurung’s portfolio reflects a commitment to evidence-based innovation. His studies, accumulating over 125 citations, consistently advance the safety, efficacy, and educational foundations of robotic urology.
