Arieh Shalhav

About

Arieh L. Shalhav, MD, is the Fritz and Mary Lee Duda Family Professor of Surgery and serves as the Chief of the Section of Urology at UChicago Medicine. He is a pioneer in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery, with extensive experience in laparoscopic kidney surgery and prostate cancer surgery utilizing the Da Vinci Surgical System. Dr. Shalhav was the first urologic surgeon in the region to employ this advanced robotic technique for prostate cancer treatment. His research has significantly contributed to understanding the effects of renal ischemia—oxygen deficiency in the kidney—and developing methods to prevent related damage during surgery. He collaborates with researchers from Argonne National Laboratories to develop innovative techniques such as using an ice slurry to protect the kidney during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Additionally, Dr. Shalhav conducts clinical outcome studies focused on minimally invasive surgical options for urologic cancer. He has received awards from the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons and the Endourological Society for his clinical work, research, and teaching.

• Utilization and Outcomes of Nephroureterectomy for Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma by Surgical Approach

  Journal of Endourology · 2017-05-24 · 64 citations

  article

  OBJECTIVES: To compare outcomes and survival of open-, robotic-, and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (ONU, RNU, LNU) using population-based data. METHODS: Using the National Cancer Database, we identified patients who underwent nephroureterectomy for localized upper tract urothelial carcinoma between 2010 and 2013. Demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics were compared among the three operative approaches. Multivariate regression analyses were used to determine the impact of approach on…

• Setting up a pediatric robotic urology program: A USA institution experience

  International Journal of Urology · 2017-07-22 · 20 citations

  review

  Implementing a robotic urological surgery program requires institutional support, and necessitates a comprehensive, detail-oriented plan that accounts for training, oversight, cost and case volume. Given the prevalence of robotic surgery in adult urology, in many instances it might be feasible to implement a pediatric robotic urology program within the greater context of adult urology. This involves, from an institutional standpoint, proportional distribution of equipment cost and operating room…

• Safety and early effectiveness of robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy for large angiomyolipomas

  British Journal of Urology · 2016-12-18 · 18 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a multicentre series of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed for the treatment of large angiomyolipomas (AMLs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2005 and 2016, 40 patients with large or symptomatic AMLs underwent RAPN at five academic centres in the USA. Patient demographics, AML characteristics, operative and postoperative clinical outcomes were recorded and analysed. Surgical outcomes were compared between patients who underwent selective arterial embolisatio…
