About
Dr. Rakesh Khera is a pioneer in robotic urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgical management of genitourinary cancers. His landmark work, "Robot-Assisted Simultaneous Bilateral Radical Inguinal Lymphadenectomy Along with Robotic Bilateral Pelvic Lymphadenectomy" (2016, 16 citations), introduced a groundbreaking, single-stage robotic approach for penile and urethral carcinoma, dramatically reducing morbidity compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Khera further advanced prostate cancer care through his investigation of predictive factors for lymph node positivity during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (2015, 13 citations), helping to refine patient selection for extended pelvic lymphadenectomy. His study on preoperative predictors of extraprostatic extension (pT3a) in an Indian cohort (2017) addresses critical gaps in regional risk stratification. With a career dedicated to establishing evidence-based, robotic surgical protocols, Dr. Khera’s work has directly improved staging accuracy and surgical outcomes, earning him recognition as a leading figure in the global adoption of robotic techniques for complex urologic malignancies.
