About
Dr. Preeti Pathak is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing reconstructive techniques for bladder cancer patients, with a particular focus on improving long-term functional outcomes and quality of life after radical cystectomy. Her major contribution lies in the development and longitudinal assessment of the “pitcher pot” neo-urethral modification of the ileal orthotopic neobladder (ONB). This innovative surgical refinement addresses a critical clinical challenge: reducing the need for clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC), a common and burdensome complication for patients with traditional neobladders. In her landmark 2021 study, Dr. Pathak prospectively evaluated a decade of experience with this technique, demonstrating that the pitcher pot modification achieves satisfactory long-term functional results and significantly lowers CISC rates, thereby enhancing patients’ independence and quality of life. While her most-cited work currently holds 3 citations—reflecting its recent publication and niche surgical focus—its impact is substantial within the urologic oncology community, as it provides the first robust, long-term evidence for a modification that multiple investigators have explored. Dr. Pathak’s dedication to patient-centered outcomes and meticulous surgical innovation positions her as a key contributor to the evolution of continent urinary diversion.
