About
Sanjeev Kotwal is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for bladder cancer, particularly through the comparison of robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy. His most significant contribution is the landmark IROC (Intracorporeal Robotic vs Open Cystectomy) multi-centre randomised trial, which has reshaped clinical practice by rigorously evaluating whether total intracorporeal robotic surgery improves patient recovery and reduces morbidity compared to traditional open procedures. The primary publication from this trial, "Effect of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy With Intracorporeal Urinary Diversion vs Open Radical Cystectomy on 90-Day Morbidity and Mortality Among Patients With Bladder Cancer" (2022), has already garnered over 320 citations, underscoring its profound impact on the field. Kotwal’s work provides critical evidence for surgeons worldwide, addressing the pressing question of whether the increasing adoption of robotic techniques translates into tangible benefits for patients. By leading such high-impact, practice-changing research, he has established himself as a key figure in urologic oncology, driving innovation in surgical care for bladder cancer patients.
