About
Ketan Mehra is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex renal and ureteral conditions. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and rare urologic anomalies. Mehra’s most impactful contribution is a landmark 2019 study comparing open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, which identified predictive factors for achieving “Trifecta” outcomes—a composite of cancer control, renal function preservation, and complication avoidance. This work, cited 31 times, provides critical guidance for surgical decision-making in renal tumor management. He also pioneered the use of the Da Vinci Xi system with near-infrared fluorescence imaging for robot-assisted ureterocalicostomy in secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction, demonstrating feasibility in a small series (13 citations). Additionally, Mehra reported the first robotic management of a rare proximal ureteral diverticulum, showcasing innovative application of robotic reconstruction. His contributions have helped refine surgical approaches, reduce invasiveness, and improve outcomes for patients with challenging urologic pathologies, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
