About
Tarek Ajami is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in kidney transplantation and oncology. His major contributions lie in the development and refinement of robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT), where he has helped establish standardized protocols through the European Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) series. His landmark multicenter study on RAKT outcomes, with 69 citations, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this approach across 10 European centers, paving the way for broader adoption. Ajami has also made significant strides in partial nephrectomy, uretero-enteric reimplantation, and the use of intraoperative indocyanine green to assess tissue vascularity during complex robotic procedures. His work on functional outcomes after laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, published in 2024, adds critical data on long-term kidney function preservation. Beyond surgery, Ajami explores genetic ancestry and prostate cancer risk, investigating founder mutations in Jamaican men of West African descent. With a growing body of work spanning robotic surgery, transplantation, and cancer genetics, Ajami is shaping the future of urologic care through innovation, multicenter collaboration, and a commitment to improving patient outcomes.
