About

Dr. Malek Meskawi is a Canadian urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing outcomes in robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate cancer. His major contributions focus on the safety, efficiency, and functional results of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). He has published influential studies on error reporting from the da Vinci surgical system, demonstrating a commitment to improving surgical safety. His research also explores the impact of surgical wait times on biochemical recurrence and pathological outcomes, providing critical insights for clinical decision-making. With over 200 citations across his top papers, Dr. Meskawi’s work on perioperative predictors of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence and functional outcomes in elderly patients has helped refine patient counseling and surgical technique. Notably, he has pioneered the use of novel technologies, such as magnet-assisted retraction with the da Vinci SP robot, and adapted urological procedures to same-day discharge during the COVID-19 pandemic. His detailed analyses of operative time and suture materials further underscore his dedication to advancing surgical precision and recovery.
