About

Dr. Arjun Nathan is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery, particularly in the challenging domain of salvage procedures. His major contributions have reshaped the management of locally recurrent prostate cancer after failed primary treatments. Through a series of high-impact studies, including his landmark 2020 paper on salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) and a propensity-matched comparative effectiveness study (2021), Nathan has provided critical evidence that sRARP can be a viable option for select patients, demonstrating comparable outcomes to primary surgery. His work extends to comparative analyses of salvage treatments following focal or whole-gland ablation, and he has innovated in managing post-surgical complications, such as intractable bladder neck strictures using the Memokath®045 stent. Beyond clinical outcomes, Nathan has made notable contributions to surgical training, developing the VROBOT virtual classroom curriculum and high-fidelity crisis simulation models. With over 160 citations across his most-cited papers, his research has garnered international recognition, including leadership within the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section. His incremental refinements to robotic prostatectomy technique have also proven that aggregated marginal gains can significantly improve functional recovery without compromising oncological control.
