About
Samita Agarwal is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced nerve-sparing techniques in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). Her primary research focuses on optimizing the balance between oncological safety and functional preservation—specifically urinary continence and erectile function—in men undergoing prostate cancer surgery. Agarwal is best known for championing the NeuroSAFE (neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination) approach in a British setting, demonstrating through multiple studies that intraoperative frozen section analysis of the prostate can significantly reduce positive surgical margins while safely maximizing nerve sparing, even in intermediate and high-risk patients. Her landmark prospective study (73 citations) established the feasibility and benefits of this technique in the UK, and her subsequent work tracking outcomes from 500 consecutive cases (13 citations) confirmed its reproducibility and long-term value. With over 125 total citations, Agarwal’s contributions have directly influenced surgical practice, offering patients a better chance at preserving quality of life without compromising cancer control. Her research continues to shape the standard of care in robotic prostate surgery.
