About
Krishna Patil is a pioneering urological surgeon whose career has been defined by a sustained commitment to advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in prostate cancer treatment, bladder surgery, and gynaecological oncology. Patil emerged as an early champion of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in the United Kingdom, authoring influential work on its adoption and the practical challenges of transitioning from open to robotic techniques — papers that collectively garnered over 80 citations and helped shape surgical practice across the country during a transformative period in urology. His contributions extend beyond prostatectomy, encompassing robotic bladder diverticulectomy, salvage seminal vesicle excision for brachytherapy recurrence, and minimally invasive pelvic exenteration for gynaecological malignancy — demonstrating a breadth of expertise rarely seen in a single practitioner. More recently, Patil has tackled contemporary challenges such as optimising outcomes in obese patients, evaluating same-day discharge protocols for RARP, and revisiting classic open techniques like Millin's prostatectomy through a robotic lens. With a body of work spanning over a decade and accumulating nearly 150 citations, Patil represents a thoughtful innovator whose research continues to directly inform surgical decision-making and patient care.
