About

Dr. Gregory Pathrose is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex renal and transplant surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted procedures for traditionally high-risk cases. Notably, his 2019 study on robotic-assisted kidney transplantation in grafts with multiple vessels (19 citations) provides critical evidence that robotic platforms can manage vascular complexity without compromising graft outcomes, expanding the pool of eligible recipients. Dr. Pathrose also led a landmark multicentre Indian experience on robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy for renal tumors with level I-III thrombi. This work, published in 2020, systematically assessed outcomes for one of the most challenging oncologic procedures, showing that robotic techniques can reduce morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Through these studies, Dr. Pathrose has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable, less invasive alternative for kidney transplantation and advanced renal cancer, influencing practice patterns in high-volume centers. His research bridges the gap between technical innovation and clinical application, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic oncology and transplantation.
