About
Dr. Puneet Kang is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in robotic-assisted procedures, with a particular focus on prostate cancer care. His most-cited study, “Robotic fatigue?” – The impact of case order on positive surgical margins in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (2020, 4 citations), investigates how the sequence of surgeries in a single day influences oncologic precision. This work highlights a critical yet underexplored factor—surgeon fatigue—and its potential to affect positive surgical margin rates, a key determinant of cancer recurrence. By demonstrating that later cases may carry higher risks, Dr. Kang’s research advocates for optimized surgical scheduling and workload management to enhance patient safety. His contributions bridge the gap between operative technique and human factors, offering actionable insights for robotic surgery teams. Though early in his career, Dr. Kang’s focus on quality improvement and patient-centered outcomes positions him as a thoughtful voice in urologic oncology, where even small adjustments in practice can yield significant clinical benefits.
