  • Comment: Possibly notable under WP because of the editorship, if it's a major journal, but hopelessly promotional.
    Some of it is puffery for him
    Some of it is advocacy for his view on prostate screening.
    Neither is acceptable.
    Furthermore: we only include the 3 or 4 most-cited articles; we do not include chapters in textbooks, DGG ( talk ) 12:22, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment: Asking DGG here for analysis because (1) WorldCat suggests he's' not notable but Scholar lists 101 citations so that's making me wonder; I welcome analysis here. SwisterTwister talk 07:02, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Vipul R. Patel, FACS is the founder and Medical Director of the Florida Hospital Global Robotics Institute,[1] founder and Vice President of the Society of Robotic Surgery, and founder and Editor Emeritus of The Journal of Robotic Surgery.[2] He is board certified by the American Urological Association and specializes in robotic surgery for prostate cancer. In February, 2016 he performed his 9,000th robotic-assisted prostatectomy, the most performed by any surgeon to date.[3] The large volume of prostatectomies he has performed has enabled him to amass a large amount of statistical evidence regarding the efficacy of robotic techniques which has been used in developing and refining techniques.[4] Patel credits the use of robotic assisted surgery with helping surgeons achieve better surgical outcomes with the "trifecta" of cancer control, continence and sexual function.[5][6] In the course of his career Patel has led and participated in studies that have resulted in developing improved outcomes for robotic surgery and urologic treatment.[7][8]

Biography

Patel received his medical degree in 1995 from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and completed his residency and a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida.

After graduation he established a robotic surgery program in a large private practice in Birmingham, Alabama. A few years later, he left private practice to establish a robotic program at Ohio State University. He served as the Director of the Center for Robotic and Computer-assisted Surgery at The Ohio State University Medical Center for three years, where he was also an Associate Clinical Professor of Urology and Associate Professor of Bioinformatics.

In January, 2008 Patel left Ohio and moved to Florida where he became Medical Director of the Global Robotics Institute at Florida Hospital Celebration Health and Director of Urologic Oncology at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute.[1]

In 2012 Patel founded the International Prostate Cancer Foundation, a charitable institution with the goals of promoting research in testing for genetic predisposition to prostate cancer, patient and physician education, and global screening for early detection of prostate cancer. Patel serves as chairman of the foundation.[9] NBA Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson, a prostate cancer survivor who underwent robotic surgery performed by Patel, serves on the board.

Academic career

Patel has played a major role in training and mentoring students in robotic technologies and in establishing robotic surgery programs in many countries. He was instrumental in developing guidelines for training and credentialing the next generation of robotic surgeons.[10]

He leads the robotic training team at the Nicholson Center, is a Professor of Urology at the University of Central Florida, and a Clinical Associate Professor of Urology at Nova Southeastern University.

He wrote the first textbook on Robotic Urology, now in a second edition.[11]

He has helped to establish and train robotic surgery units around the world. For example, in 2004 he established a robotic surgery department at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.[12] In 2008 he trained the first Russian robotic surgery team and performed the first robotic prostatectomy in Russia, for which he was inducted into the Russian Academy of Sciences[13]
