About
Dr. M. K. Ramaprasad is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques, particularly in renal transplantation and prostate cancer surgery. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted renal transplantation with total extraperitonealization of the graft, as detailed in his 2018 study of 34 cases (12 citations), which has helped refine surgical approaches for improved graft outcomes. He has also significantly impacted prostate cancer treatment through his work on Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), where his retrospective multivariate analysis of 320 cases (8 citations) highlighted the benefits of this technique over conventional RARP in reducing complications. Additionally, Dr. Ramaprasad reported the first robotic-assisted dual kidney transplantation from a marginal donor (6 citations), showcasing innovation in expanding donor pool utilization. His recent 2024 study on the peritoneal distraction technique to reduce symptomatic lymphoceles after Retzius-sparing RARP (1 citation) further underscores his commitment to improving patient recovery. Through these contributions, Dr. Ramaprasad has established himself as a leader in robotic urologic surgery, with cumulative citations reflecting his growing influence in the field.
