About

Premnath Dogra is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery, particularly for complex genitourinary conditions. His research has fundamentally shaped how surgical teams optimize outcomes, demonstrating through his most cited work (37 citations) that the experience of the patient-side assistant directly impacts robotic surgery results—a finding that has influenced operating room protocols worldwide. Dogra has also been instrumental in expanding the boundaries of what is possible with robotic platforms, reporting the first robot-assisted laparoscopic augmentation ileocystoplasty for tubercular bladder (19 citations), a landmark achievement in reconstructive urology. His innovative spirit extends to perioperative care, where his pilot study on dexmedetomidine as a sole analgesic in robotic urological surgery (14 citations) has opened new avenues for opioid-free anesthesia. Beyond these contributions, Dogra has provided critical early data from the Indian subcontinent on robot-assisted radical cystectomy and systematically compared open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches for nephron-sparing surgery, correlating outcomes with histopathological grading. His initial experience with extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy further demonstrates his commitment to refining surgical techniques. With a career defined by technical innovation and rigorous outcome analysis, Dogra continues to shape the future of minimally invasive urological surgery.
