About

Shomik Sengupta is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving the accuracy, safety, and outcomes of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. His primary research areas include prostate biopsy techniques, robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), and surgical quality improvement. Sengupta’s most influential contribution is his comprehensive review of transperineal prostate biopsy (2020, 57 citations), which highlights this approach as a safer, more accurate alternative to the traditional transrectal method—a critical advancement given prostate cancer’s status as the second most diagnosed cancer worldwide. He has also made notable contributions to refining RALP, including pioneering a single-layer anatomical reconstruction of the vesico-urethral anastomosis (2011) and developing the “Veil of Aphrodite” technique for nerve-sparing surgery (2010). His work on predictors of positive surgical margins (2011) and a Delphi-based analysis of factors affecting blood loss and operative time (2024) further demonstrates his commitment to evidence-based surgical practice. With a career spanning over a decade, Sengupta’s research directly impacts patient safety and surgical precision, making him a key figure in modern urologic oncology.
