About
Dragan Golijanin is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and oncologic urology. He has made significant contributions to the surgical management of renal and prostate cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes through advanced technology. Golijanin is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in near infrared fluorescence (NIR) imaging during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, demonstrating how indocyanine green fluorescence can improve tumor visualization and nephron preservation — research that has garnered over 240 citations across two landmark studies. His early investigations into robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), including outcomes in challenging populations such as obese patients and those with large prostates, helped establish best practices during a formative era in robotic urology, accumulating nearly 150 additional citations. Golijanin has also advanced the field through comparative effectiveness research, evaluating open versus minimally invasive partial nephrectomy using national quality databases and examining cost considerations in robotic surgery. His body of work reflects a consistent commitment to improving surgical precision, patient safety, and postoperative functional outcomes, making him an important voice in contemporary urologic oncology and minimally invasive surgical innovation.
