About
Ragheed Saoud is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques for complex urologic and pediatric conditions. His most impactful work centers on testicular cancer management, where he demonstrated the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), a traditionally open procedure. His 2022 retrospective cohort study (27 citations) and a multicenter collaborative study on robotic post-chemotherapy RPLND (16 citations) have helped establish robotic approaches as viable, less invasive alternatives for men with testis cancer. Saoud also critically evaluated the learning curve for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy versus open surgery for kidney tumors, showing that even during the initial learning phase, robotic techniques yield comparable outcomes (11 citations). Beyond oncology, he has explored robotic applications in pediatric surgery, including comparative studies of robotic versus open antegrade colonic enema channels for treating refractory constipation. His work has been instrumental in expanding the role of robotics in urology, particularly in the Middle East, where he helped assess the impact of introducing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy on surgical volume. With a growing citation record and a focus on safety, feasibility, and comparative outcomes, Saoud is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
