Surgeons Capable Of The Highest Level of Performance
The Global Robotics Institute has a dedicated team focused on academia and learning. Thanks to our comprehensive research team and robust fellowship program, we continue to pave the way for new advancements in urologic oncology.
The research team at the Global Robotics Institute is committed to practicing evidence-based medicine. Our team has been published in multiple international journals and has authored several landmark articles in the field of urologic oncology. Learn more about our research team’s projects and trials here.
Our fellowship program focuses on both personal and professional development that ensures appropriate and safe patient care. The Global Robotics Institute fellowship program emphasizes a high-level focus on both surgery and research. The goal of our program is to produce a robotically-trained surgeon who is capable of a high level of performance. If you are a physician in training interested in our program, you can learn more here.
Research and Clinical Trials
If research is the lifeblood of medicine, clinical trials are its heart. Together, they drive medicine forward and are behind all new medical advances and techniques.
Global Robotics Institute (GRI) is fully committed to this ideal. Yet, it only scratches the surface of why we maintain a staff of some of best physicians, clinicians and research specialists in the world. By tackling complex medical issues, we learn for ourselves why they exist and how we can move step-by-step closer to solving them. It also provides valuable insight into diseases and treatments. This enables us to ethically counsel patients about the goals and limits of treatments they may be considering.
We do not do this alone. We are among the world’s most experienced medical researchers, so it is our duty to also share the things we learn so that everyone may benefit. Clinical data collection, including comprehensive outcomes information, provides key information to help GRI and other medical institutes discover new medical breakthroughs.
In all of these important ways, our work at GRI supports the greater purpose of healing and enriching lives around the globe.
- The Purpose of Clinical Trials
-
Clinical trials are designed to look at new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease. Our goal is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. But they also look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people suffering with chronic illness. In this important way, clinical trials can provide patients and their loved ones much-needed hope.
People join clinical trials for different reasons. Without their generosity, it would be almost impossible to enjoy the many medical advances we take for granted today. Healthy volunteers frequently say they participate to help others and to move science forward. Those with an illness or disease also participate to help others, but also to possibly receive the newest treatment and additional care and attention from the clinical research staff.
- Our Clinical Research Studies
-
GRI is a leading-edge medical treatment and research facility that conducts may types of studies. These include clinical trials. For instance, current studies include the use of blood, urine and prostate tumor tissue to develop more-sensitive testing techniques to help better treat and cure prostate cancer.
We also continually study and refine our surgical techniques to advance the field. Through our integrated database of over 7,000 robotic-assisted surgeries, we carefully track and record each outcome. This knowledge is then used to further improve our care to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.
- Patient Follow-Up
-
Our research team is also fully committed to the post-operative care of patients to help ensure the best possible outcomes from treatment.
We understand that many patients follow up with a local urologist that is more conveniently located closer to their homes. So under the direction of Dr. Patel, each patient is called at several key, scheduled times following surgery: From six weeks through 18 months and then annually thereafter. Our goal is to monitor and record that patients are getting the recommended PSA tests and assess their quality of life after receiving a radical prostatectomy. This provides Dr. Patel information that helps him ensure the continued health of his patients.

Urologic Robotic Surgery Outcomes Registry
Over 10,000 robotic radical prostatectomies are currently registered. This number keeps growing as we add more data to better track which types of surgery and treatments are leading to the best results over time.The Following Studies are Closed to Enrollment:
Exosome
Exosomes (cellular bodies) will be separated from collected study participants urine collection to look at specific molecules (RNA) and compare it to the features that are present in the prostatectomy and biopsy specimen. Looking at these molecules will allow us to evaluate the progression of the disease and possibly develop a more precise laboratory test to detect the potential advancement of prostate cancer.RNA Biomarker Discovery and Development for the Detection and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Partnership study with Dr. Ranjan Perera at Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute of Lake Nona, Florida.CIRB CALGB 90203
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the combination of chemotherapy and hormone therapy followed by radical prostatectomy with radical prostatectomy alone.Role of Obesity in Prostate Cancer Progression
Collaboration between AdventHealth Cancer Institute and Dr. Steven Smith that explores the hypothesized association between inflammation of adipose tissue (fat found just below the skin and surrounding organs) and prostate inflammation in humans, as well as the role of adipose tissue in the progression of prostate cancer.A prospective randomized clinical trial using dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dhacm) in nerve sparing robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (ralp) – effect on potency outcomes
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) in reducing neurovascular bundle inflammation in prostate cancer patients undergoing bilateral full nerve sparing robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Specifically, this study compares potency outcomes in patients who had full nerve sparing RALP procedures with dHACM application to the neurovascular bundles to that of full nerve sparing RALP without dHACM application to neurovascular bundles. - Medical Publications
