About
Prokar Dasgupta is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the landscape of robotic and minimally invasive surgery. His research spans three interconnected domains: robotic urological oncology, surgical robotics engineering, and surgical training and simulation. Through landmark contributions to the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium, Dasgupta has helped define best practices for robot-assisted radical cystectomy, with studies on urinary diversion outcomes and learning curves accumulating over 750 combined citations. His involvement in the CORAL trial — one of the first randomised controlled trials directly comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical cystectomy — demonstrated his commitment to rigorous clinical evidence, earning over 330 citations. Equally notable is his engagement with surgical innovation; his contributions to the STIFF-FLOP soft robotics project (524 citations) reflect a rare ability to bridge clinical practice and cutting-edge engineering. Dasgupta has also advanced surgical education, with highly cited systematic reviews on robotic simulation validation and urological learning curves. With his most-cited works collectively amassing over 2,800 citations, his influence across clinical outcomes, technology development, and training methodology marks him as a defining figure in modern urological surgery.
