About

Sonal Grover is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the technique and outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her work centers on three critical pillars: optimizing surgical precision, preserving postoperative function, and improving oncologic control. Dr. Grover introduced the landmark concept of “anatomical grades of nerve sparing,” a risk-stratified approach to preserving the neural hammock during prostatectomy (226 citations), which has become a cornerstone for tailoring surgery to individual patient anatomy. She also revolutionized vesicourethral anastomosis with a novel barbed suture technique that dramatically reduced operative times (99 citations), and developed the synchronous retro-apical transection method to lower positive surgical margin rates (74 citations). Her investigations into multiphoton microscopy for real-time tissue identification (69 citations) and traction-free nerve preservation using penile oxygen monitoring (40 citations) demonstrate her commitment to marrying technology with surgical finesse. With over 860 cumulative citations across her top works, Dr. Grover’s contributions have not only refined surgical technique but also provided a neuroanatomic basis for preserving orgasmic function and erectile health, directly improving quality of life for thousands of prostate cancer patients.
