Andrew Bhatt

Andrew Bhatt has contributed to optimizing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy technique and outcomes for localized prostate cancer, with particular focus on nerve-sparing approaches, positive surgical margin rates, and urinary continence recovery. His research has examined factors predicting positive surgical margin rates after RARP including tumor stage, surgeon volume, and technique modifications, identifying approaches that reduce margin positivity while maintaining functional outcomes. He has investigated extended pelvic lymph node dissection templates during RARP for optimal staging and their impact on biochemical recurrence-free survival. His work has contributed to robotic prostatectomy becoming the dominant surgical approach for localized prostate cancer in high-income countries.
