Sina Sobhani

About

Sina Sobhani is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques, particularly using the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) platform. His major contributions lie in developing novel, less invasive approaches for complex urologic oncology procedures. He has demonstrated the feasibility and safety of single-port robot-assisted partial cystectomy for urachal adenocarcinoma, a rare tumor, and has refined techniques for radical prostatectomy in patients with “hostile abdomens”—those with extensive prior surgeries or obesity. His innovative “Keyhole Technique” for distal ureter and bladder cuff excision during robotic radical nephroureterectomy offers a streamlined method for treating upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Sobhani’s work, including his most-cited paper on single-port partial cystectomy (5 citations), is shaping the future of robotic surgery by reducing patient morbidity and expanding surgical options for challenging cases. His publications, spanning 2022 to 2025, reflect a rapid and impactful trajectory in urologic oncology, establishing him as a leader in single-port robotic surgery.
