About
Shaan Setia is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, urology, and medical device design. His work focuses on developing and evaluating next-generation surgical tools to make complex procedures less invasive and more precise. A key contribution is his pioneering work on concentric tube robots for transurethral surgery, where he demonstrated the first robotic suturing within the urethra to perform anastomosis after prostate removal—a critical step toward reducing the invasiveness of radical prostatectomy. His research also investigates the clinical impact of single-port robotic surgery, identifying predictors of faster recovery after partial nephrectomy. Setia has further advanced the field by creating a virtual reality framework to evaluate surgical robot designs and by proposing a safe, in vivo framework for quantitative assessment of image guidance systems. His comparative analysis of 3D image guidance implementations in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy has helped clarify the readiness of these technologies for clinical use. With over 20 citations across his most-cited works, Setia’s contributions are shaping the future of robot-assisted urologic surgery, bridging engineering innovation with tangible patient outcomes.
