About
Emad Rajih is a Canadian urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer patients. His major contributions focus on improving surgical outcomes by identifying perioperative predictors of urinary incontinence and erectile function recovery, as demonstrated in his prospective cohort studies (31 and 9 citations, respectively). Rajih has also systematically analyzed the da Vinci surgical system’s error reporting, documenting malfunctions across 1,228 robotic surgeries to enhance patient safety (37 citations). His research on surgical delay’s impact on biochemical recurrence and pathological outcomes (34 and 14 citations) provides critical guidance for clinical decision-making. Notably, Rajih developed a standardized four-step technique for bladder neck dissection during RARP, a challenging procedural step, and explored innovative approaches like robotic transmesocolonic pyelolithotomy for horseshoe kidney. His work on feasibility of mini-laparotomy adhesiolysis prior to robotic prostatectomy expands surgical options for patients with prior abdominal surgeries. With over 170 total citations, Rajih’s contributions advance both the technical precision and safety of robotic urologic surgery, directly benefiting surgical trainees and patient outcomes.
