About
Gaurab Pokhrel is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery, particularly in oncology. His major contributions lie in evaluating novel robotic platforms and refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Notably, his 2018 meta-analysis on Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (22 citations) established a benchmark for comparing functional and oncological outcomes against standard approaches. He has been instrumental in assessing emerging systems like the Toumai® (21 citations) and Carina (4 citations) robotic platforms, demonstrating their safety and feasibility in urologic procedures—work that promises to expand access to robotic surgery by reducing costs. Pokhrel also developed innovative techniques for complex cases, including robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for endophytic tumors using laparoscopic ultrasound (7 citations) and a single-docking approach for Level III inferior vena cava tumor thrombectomy (6 citations). His 2024 study on left renal vein ligation’s impact on renal function (3 citations) further showcases his focus on preserving organ function during aggressive resections. With over 60 citations across his most-cited works, Pokhrel is a rising leader in urologic robotics, driving both technological evaluation and surgical innovation.
