About
Dr. Deerush Kannan Sakthivel is a rising urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the surgical management of urologic cancers, with a particular focus on prostate and renal malignancies. His research spans the integration of advanced imaging, robotic surgical innovation, and precision oncology. Dr. Sakthivel’s most cited work (5 citations) is a landmark prospective study correlating Gallium-68 PSMA PET/CT and MRI findings with histopathology in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, providing critical validation for PSMA PET in staging and lymph node detection. He has also pioneered comparative analyses of robotic platforms, notably evaluating the Hugo RAS system against the da Vinci Xi for vesicovaginal fistula repair (3 citations), contributing to the evidence base for next-generation surgical robotics. Additionally, his investigation into three-dimensional reconstruction’s impact on ischemic and operative times during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (1 citation) demonstrates his commitment to optimizing surgical outcomes through technological integration. Dr. Sakthivel’s work is instrumental in advancing personalized, minimally invasive approaches to urologic oncology.
