About
Gaurav Bandi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has advanced the field of robotic prostate surgery, particularly for complex cases. His research focuses on optimizing perioperative and oncologic outcomes in minimally invasive prostatectomy and nephrectomy. Bandi’s most impactful contribution is a landmark multi-institutional European–American analysis of robotic and laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (197 citations), which established benchmarks for treating large prostatic adenomas. He further demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy for glands exceeding 100 grams, a population traditionally requiring open surgery. In the realm of oncology, Bandi conducted a multi-institution comparison showing that robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy offers comparable oncologic outcomes to open surgery for locally-advanced prostate cancer. His early work on identifying and preserving accessory pudendal vessels during robotic prostatectomy reflects his commitment to refining surgical technique and preserving functional outcomes. With over 290 cumulative citations, Bandi’s research provides critical evidence that robotic approaches can be safely extended to challenging patient populations, helping to shape contemporary urologic practice.
