Dr. Vipul Patel Completes 16,000th Surgery

One June 27, 2022, Dr. Vipul Patel completed his 16,000th robotic-assisted prostatectomy. This is not only a milestone in his career, but also in the world of robotic-urologic surgery as he is the only single-surgeon to complete this number of robotic-assisted prostatectomies. Each one has provided a unique opportunity to impact the life and health of a patient through robotic surgery treatment and whole-person care.
