About
Salam Najjar is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and complex prostate conditions. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted prostate surgery, functional outcomes after prostatectomy, and comparative effectiveness of novel surgical approaches. Najjar’s most notable contribution is his leadership of the first multicentric comparative analysis of Retzius-sparing versus standard Retzius robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for managing large prostate glands. This landmark study, published in 2022 and already cited 4 times, demonstrated that the Retzius-sparing approach offers superior early continence recovery without compromising gland resection efficacy—a finding that directly informs surgical decision-making for patients with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms. His work has been recognized internationally, and he is known for bridging the gap between technical innovation and patient-centered outcomes. With a growing citation impact, Najjar continues to shape the evidence base for robotic urologic surgery, making him a key voice in the evolution of BPH management.
