About
Sukhjeevan Nijhar is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes following robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. His key research areas include pelvic fascia-sparing surgical techniques, urinary continence recovery, and the optimization of postoperative quality of life for prostate cancer patients. In a landmark multicenter study, Nijhar demonstrated that a pelvic fascia-sparing approach during robotic prostatectomy significantly accelerates the return of urinary continence compared to standard techniques, with patients achieving superior continence rates at 1, 3, and 6 months post-surgery. This work, which has already garnered early citations, provides critical evidence for refining surgical protocols to minimize long-term morbidity. Nijhar’s contributions are particularly notable for their direct clinical applicability, offering surgeons a data-driven rationale for adopting nerve- and fascia-preserving methods. His research has been presented at major urology conferences and published in high-impact journals, establishing him as an emerging authority in functional urologic oncology. By systematically identifying factors associated with recovery, Nijhar is helping to shift the paradigm from purely oncologic outcomes toward patient-centered functional preservation.
