About
Dr. Tariq A. Khemees is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for complex urologic conditions, particularly kidney and prostate cancers. His most cited study, with 73 citations, optimizes near-infrared fluorescence during robotic partial nephrectomy, demonstrating how proper dosing of indocyanine green can differentiate tumors from normal tissue—a technique that improves surgical precision and outcomes. He has also made significant contributions to postoperative care, developing a clinical pathway for robotic nephroureterectomy that safely omits pelvic drains and enables next-day catheter removal and discharge (18 citations). In prostate cancer surgery, Dr. Khemees identified risk factors for acute urinary retention after robotic prostatectomy and proposed preventive strategies (23 citations). Notably, he has pioneered robotic urologic surgery in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), showing that procedures like nephroureterectomy and radical prostatectomy are feasible in this high-risk population, even helping patients regain candidacy for heart transplantation (8 and 6 citations). His work bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered recovery, earning recognition for improving both technique and quality of life.
