Director – Urologic Oncology & Robotic Surgery
Dr. Rajiv Yadav is a world-class Urologist and Robotic Surgeon with over 20 years of elite surgical experience. A former faculty member at the prestigious AIIMS, New Delhi, he is recognized as a pioneer in Robotic Uro-Oncology. He has performed over 1,500 independent robotic surgeries, specializing in nerve-sparing prostatectomies and kidney-saving tumor removals. His international training at the Cornell Medical Center, New York, ensures that his patients receive surgical care on par with the highest global standards.
Dr. Rajiv Yadav is celebrated for his technical mastery of the da Vinci Robotic System, focusing on procedures that maximize cancer cure while preserving organ function and quality of life.
- Elite Academic Foundation: An alumnus of AIIMS, New Delhi, he served as an Assistant Professor there, training the next generation of surgeons. His expertise was further refined during a dedicated fellowship in Robotic Prostate Surgery at the Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, USA.
- Nerve-Sparing Specialist: He is an expert in Robotic Radical Prostatectomy, utilizing advanced techniques to preserve the delicate nerves surrounding the prostate. This is critical for international patients as it significantly improves post-surgical urinary control and sexual potency.
- Organ-Preserving Cancer Care: Dr. Yadav is a leader in Robotic Partial Nephrectomy. Instead of removing the entire kidney, he utilizes robotic precision to remove only the tumor, saving the healthy part of the kidney—a vital benefit for patients’ long-term renal health.
- Global Recognition: He has been awarded the “Best Urology Resident” award and the “Vattikuti Foundation Fellowship” in Robotic Surgery. He is a frequent speaker at the American Urological Association (AUA) and other global forums.
