About
Dr. S. K. Raghunath is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research is transforming the landscape of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in the Indian context. His work centers on advancing robotic platforms for complex urological cancers, with a major contribution being the validation of robot-assisted video endoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection (RA-VEIL) for penile cancer. Through a landmark multicenter study involving three Indian tertiary care centers, Dr. Raghunath demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this technique, offering a less morbid alternative to open surgery for a challenging disease. His comprehensive review of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy outcomes has also informed best practices, while his exploration of the NeuroSAFE technique for nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) addresses the critical need for functional preservation in Indian patients. With over 15 cumulative citations, his recent 2024 publications—including a forward-looking review on robotic platforms—underscore his role as a thought leader in urologic innovation. Dr. Raghunath’s work not only pushes technical boundaries but also expands access to advanced surgical care, making him a key figure in the global adoption of robotic urology.
