About

Dr. Roman Sukhanov is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic urologic surgery, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer treatment. His major contributions center on systematically analyzing and optimizing the surgical learning curve, demonstrating how experienced laparoscopic surgeons can effectively transition to robotic platforms. His landmark 2020 study, with 22 citations, retrospectively evaluated 145 RARP cases performed between 2015 and 2017, providing critical benchmarks for surgical proficiency and patient outcomes. Dr. Sukhanov has also pioneered structured training methodologies for RARP, recognizing that robotic techniques require distinct skill sets compared to open or laparoscopic approaches. His 2019 work on training methods, cited 6 times, addresses the pressing need for standardized curricula in robotic surgery education. By quantifying performance improvements and establishing evidence-based training protocols, Dr. Sukhanov’s research directly enhances surgical safety and accelerates competency for new robotic surgeons. His work is essential reading for urologists and surgical trainees seeking to master minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment while minimizing patient risk.
