About

Seema Angra is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical precision in prostate cancer treatment, particularly through robotic-assisted techniques. Her major contribution lies in the refinement and evaluation of neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination (NeuroSAFE) during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. In her landmark study, she analyzed outcomes from 500 consecutive cases in the UK, demonstrating how intraoperative frozen-section analysis can help preserve neurovascular bundles without compromising oncological control. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, provides critical evidence for optimizing nerve-sparing surgery, thereby improving postoperative erectile function and urinary continence for patients. Angra’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world clinical application, offering a reproducible protocol that enhances both cancer clearance and quality of life. Her findings have informed surgical practice in high-volume centers, underscoring her role in translating complex pathological assessment into actionable intraoperative decisions. For students and researchers, Angra’s work exemplifies how meticulous surgical technique, combined with rigorous outcome analysis, can drive meaningful improvements in patient-centered care.
