About

Dr. Vik Uberoi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted procedures, for complex urologic cancers in elderly and high-risk patient populations. His landmark study, "Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy in Octogenarians" (2013, 27 citations), demonstrated that robotic surgery can dramatically reduce morbidity and mortality in patients over 80 undergoing radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer—a group historically denied surgery due to prohibitive complication rates. This work challenged conventional clinical dogma and expanded surgical access for vulnerable patients. Dr. Uberoi’s contributions have helped redefine perioperative care standards, showing that age alone should not preclude aggressive cancer treatment when robotic approaches are available. His research continues to influence urologic oncology practice, particularly in optimizing outcomes for the elderly. With a career dedicated to surgical innovation and patient-centered care, Dr. Uberoi remains a respected voice in the field, advocating for the safe integration of technology to improve survival and quality of life in high-risk surgical populations.
