About
Nabeel Shakir is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, reconstructive urology, and gender-affirming care. His research has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive approaches to complex genitourinary reconstruction, with a particular focus on conditions that have historically been difficult to treat surgically. Shakir has made significant contributions to the field of gender-affirming surgery, pioneering robotic peritoneal flap vaginoplasty techniques that address neovaginal stenosis and genital hypoplasia — work that has garnered over 60 citations and expanded surgical options for transgender patients. Equally notable is his expertise in urethral reconstruction, including robotic posterior urethroplasty using buccal mucosa grafts and innovative bladder flap techniques for recalcitrant vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis. His collaborative work within the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons (TURNS) underscores his engagement with the broader reconstructive urology community. Shakir has also contributed to optimizing robotic prostatectomy training and patient recovery protocols. Collectively, his published work — cited nearly 230 times — reflects a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what robotic platforms can achieve in precision reconstructive surgery.
