About
Dr. Sandip M. Prasad is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate cancer. His seminal work on **anatomic bladder neck preservation** during robotic prostatectomy (169 citations) established a technique that improves patient continence without compromising cancer control. Dr. Prasad’s foundational research on **surgical robotics** (142 citations) was among the first to quantify how motion scaling enhances surgical dexterity, providing the evidence base for modern robotic systems. He has also shaped clinical practice through studies on **postoperative care pathways**, demonstrating that early catheter removal with suprapubic tube drainage reduces pain after prostatectomy (33 citations), and that early discharge after partial nephrectomy is safe and effective (30 citations). His analyses of national trends (44 citations) documented the rapid adoption of robotic technology for prostate cancer treatment across the United States. With over 500 total citations, Dr. Prasad’s work bridges engineering and clinical medicine, improving both surgical technique and patient recovery. His contributions have been instrumental in establishing evidence-based protocols that enhance outcomes for men undergoing urologic cancer surgery.
