About
Amir Farooq Khan is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted and open procedures for urological cancers. His key research areas include the perioperative physiology of robotic surgery and the management of urothelial carcinoma. Khan’s major contributions center on two critical, under-explored questions. First, he has investigated the impact of abdominal insufflation on intraocular pressure during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a study that addresses a rare but serious risk of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Second, he has examined the optimal timing of urethrectomy in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, comparing concomitant versus delayed approaches to improve perioperative and survival outcomes. While his most cited works are recent (2025), they have already garnered attention, with the insufflation study receiving 3 citations and the urethrectomy study 1 citation, signaling growing interest in these safety and efficacy questions. Khan’s research is notable for its direct clinical applicability, offering evidence to guide surgical decision-making and patient safety protocols. His work at a UK tertiary centre positions him as a rising voice in urological oncology, dedicated to refining surgical techniques for better patient outcomes.
