About
Prithvi Murthy is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic techniques, and urological reconstruction in both adult and pediatric populations. His research has made significant contributions to understanding the comparative outcomes of open versus robotic approaches across a range of complex urological procedures, including radical cystectomy, pyeloplasty, and bladder reconstruction. Murthy's most cited work — a large single-institution comparison of open and robotic radical cystectomy approaches (85 citations) — helped clarify perioperative outcomes across surgical platforms, providing critical guidance for surgeons navigating treatment options for bladder cancer. His parallel focus on pediatric robotic urology is equally notable, with influential studies on robotic augmentation ileocystoplasty, Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy, and pyeloplasty in children, as well as a practical framework for establishing pediatric robotic urology programs. Further work on uretero-enteric strictures and renal function outcomes post-cystectomy has deepened the field's understanding of long-term surgical consequences. With a body of work accumulating nearly 380 citations, Murthy stands as a meaningful contributor to advancing evidence-based minimally invasive urology for patients across the age spectrum.
