About

Homayoun Zargar is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the landscape of minimally invasive and robotic urologic surgery. His research spans robotic and laparoscopic approaches to kidney, prostate, and adrenal surgery, with particular expertise in partial nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy, and oncologic outcomes in urological cancers. Zargar's most influential contribution — a multi-institutional study comparing robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for small renal masses — introduced the innovative "optimal outcome" composite measure and garnered over 200 citations, establishing benchmarks still referenced today. His 197-cited analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic simple prostatectomy across European and American institutions similarly demonstrated the global relevance of his collaborative research model. Zargar has championed technical innovation, developing a streamlined robotic nephroureterectomy approach requiring no patient repositioning, and pioneering fully intracorporeal robotic ileal ureter reconstruction. His large-scale studies examining urinary fistula risk, renal function preservation using MAG3 scintigraphy, and five-year oncologic outcomes after robotic partial nephrectomy reflect a rigorous commitment to patient safety and long-term surgical excellence. With nearly 1,000 cumulative citations, Zargar stands as a leading voice in advancing evidence-based robotic urology worldwide.
