About

Dr. Saied Froghi is a leading investigator in urological and minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on surgical education and the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and open techniques. His seminal work, "Learning curves for urological procedures: a systematic review," has garnered over 220 citations, establishing a foundational framework for understanding the number of cases required to achieve surgical proficiency. Dr. Froghi has made major contributions to the field by rigorously evaluating surgical innovations; his meta-analysis comparing robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for small renal tumors (cited over 60 times) and his systematic review of robotic, laparoscopic, and open cystectomy (also cited over 60 times) provide critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Notably, he led a multi-institutional prospective study validating the Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS) curriculum, a key step in standardizing robotic training. His work extends beyond urology, as demonstrated by his recent systematic review on learning curves in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. With a total of over 460 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Froghi’s research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based surgical training and optimizing patient outcomes through comparative effectiveness research.
