About
Dr. Sij Hemal is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted urologic surgery, with a particular emphasis on single-port (SP) robotic platforms and complex reconstructive techniques. Dr. Hemal has been instrumental in expanding the indications for robotic surgery, demonstrating its feasibility in challenging scenarios such as redo partial nephrectomies for recurrent renal tumors and procedures in patients with "hostile abdomens" due to prior surgeries. His most cited work, "Robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction – current status and future directions" (28 citations), provides a foundational overview of the field. He has also explored novel applications like single-port donor nephrectomy and transvesical prostatectomy, and is investigating the use of virtual reality as a tool for patient counseling. With a portfolio of highly specialized publications, Dr. Hemal’s contributions are defining the next generation of urologic surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible through smaller incisions and innovative access points.
