About
Dr. R.B. Sabnis is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of kidney stone disease. His primary research focus lies in developing and refining minimally invasive techniques, particularly percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and ureteroscopy (URS). Dr. Sabnis’s major contribution is the introduction of a novel, synchronous approach that combines mini-PCNL with URS lithotripsy and a steerable suction device for the simultaneous evacuation of stone fragments. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2021 publication in the *Journal of Urology*, represents a paradigm shift in stone surgery by improving stone-free rates while reducing procedural morbidity. His work has garnered significant attention, with this key paper accumulating over 2 citations and influencing clinical practice worldwide. Dr. Sabnis has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of these combined techniques, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional methods. His achievements include pioneering the clinical application of this steerable suction technology, which has been recognized as a major step forward in endourology. For students and researchers, Dr. Sabnis’s work exemplifies how creative instrumentation and procedural integration can solve longstanding challenges in stone management, making him a leading figure in the evolution of modern urological surgery.
