About
Shayan Smani is a urological researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical outcomes and preoperative imaging, with a particular focus on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and its surgical management. His primary research area involves leveraging pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict postoperative complications, most notably urinary incontinence following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). Smani’s major contribution lies in extending anatomical risk stratification—previously validated for robotic prostatectomy—into the HoLEP landscape, demonstrating that preoperative measurements of the prostate and membranous urethra can forecast continence outcomes. His most-cited paper, “Can Anatomical Measurements on Preoperative Pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predict Postoperative Urinary Incontinence after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate?” (2025, 2 citations), represents a pioneering effort to close a critical gap in the literature, offering urologists a non-invasive tool to counsel patients and refine surgical planning. Though early in his citation trajectory, Smani’s work signals a shift toward personalized, imaging-driven decision-making in BPH surgery, with potential to reduce the burden of incontinence—a complication that profoundly impacts quality of life. His research is particularly notable for its translational relevance, bridging radiology and urology to improve patient outcomes.
