About
Solajd Pohja is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques, particularly in prostate cancer surgery and the management of rare adrenal tumors. His most significant contribution is the development and validation of the PERUSIA technique—a full neurovascular sparing, extraperitoneal robotic radical prostatectomy. This innovative approach, detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (34 citations), prioritizes the preservation of critical anatomical structures, aiming to improve postoperative functional outcomes such as continence and erectile function without compromising oncologic safety. Pohja’s research demonstrates a meticulous focus on surgical precision and patient quality of life. Beyond prostate surgery, he has explored the frontiers of robotic application, as evidenced by his 2014 work on robot-assisted laparoscopic excision of a paraganglioma (16 citations), showcasing a novel, less invasive therapeutic pathway for this rare neural crest tumor. Through these contributions, Pohja has helped define a new standard in robotic urologic oncology, merging technical innovation with tangible improvements in patient recovery and long-term well-being.
