About

Sapan N. Ambani is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving perioperative outcomes in urologic oncology. His major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic and open approaches for complex urologic procedures. Notably, his matched comparison of robotic vs. laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (41 citations) provided early evidence supporting the robotic approach’s feasibility and safety. He has also been instrumental in robotic surgery training (40 citations), shaping how surgeons acquire these specialized skills. Ambani’s research on ureteroneocystostomy—both in timing after iatrogenic injury and in comparing robotic to open techniques (15 citations)—has informed clinical decision-making for ureteral reconstruction. Additionally, his work on length of stay following radical cystectomy (15 citations) anticipated the shift toward enhanced recovery protocols, questioning how short is safe before ERAS became standard. With over 130 cumulative citations, Ambani’s scholarship bridges surgical innovation and practical outcomes, making him a key voice in the evolution of robotic urology and postoperative care.
