About
Dr. Zhamshid Okhunov is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery, surgical education, and renal preservation. He has made seminal contributions to understanding how three-dimensional vision enhances laparoscopic performance, with his 2013 study on 3D laparoscopy (98 citations) demonstrating measurable improvements in surgical precision. Dr. Okhunov also spearheaded the multi-institutional Laparoscopic and Robotic Pyeloplasty Collaborative, analyzing over 865 cases to identify factors that optimize outcomes for minimally invasive pyeloplasty (61 citations). His research on nephron-sparing procedures, including a comparative study of partial nephrectomy versus ablation techniques using 3D volume measurements (48 citations), has provided critical insights into preserving renal parenchymal volume. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Okhunov has transformed surgical training and assessment. His work evaluating urology residency training (92 citations) and pioneering crowd-sourced assessment of surgical skills (C-SATS) for residency applicants (47 citations) has introduced innovative, scalable methods for evaluating technical competence. Through these contributions—totaling over 390 citations—Dr. Okhunov continues to shape the future of urologic surgery, blending technological innovation with rigorous outcomes research.
