About

Dr. Ramzi Jabaji is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques in robotic-assisted urologic oncology, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His most influential contributions address the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In a highly cited 2013 study (77 citations), Dr. Jabaji rigorously evaluated the outcomes and complications of pelvic lymph node dissection during RARP, providing critical data that helped refine surgical decision-making and patient selection. He further pushed the boundaries of perioperative care with a landmark 2018 study (49 citations) demonstrating the safety and feasibility of performing RARP as an outpatient procedure, a finding with significant implications for healthcare resource utilization and patient recovery. Beyond prostate cancer, Dr. Jabaji has contributed to the literature on rare urologic malignancies, including a 2020 case report on primary renal carcinoid tumors. Collectively, his work has been cited over 135 times, reflecting its practical impact on surgical practice and its role in shaping modern, less invasive approaches to urologic cancer care.
