About
Prabhakar Rajan is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions include pioneering the Retzius-sparing approach, which has been shown to significantly improve early urinary continence recovery—a critical quality-of-life outcome for patients. Rajan’s research spans from optimizing primary treatment to addressing complex cases of recurrent disease, as demonstrated by his leadership of the TRoMbone trial, which tested the feasibility of radical prostatectomy in men with oligo-metastatic prostate cancer. His work on salvage RARP after focal therapies like high-intensity focused ultrasound has provided crucial evidence for managing local recurrence. With key papers accumulating over 360 citations, Rajan’s impact is evident in his systematic reviews and meta-analyses that shape clinical guidelines. Notably, his 2017 review on surgical techniques for continence recovery and his 2019 meta-analysis comparing Retzius-sparing to conventional RARP are widely referenced. Rajan’s research bridges surgical innovation with rigorous evidence, making him a pivotal figure in modern urological oncology.
