Sammy E. Elsamra, MD, FACS

Associate Professor of Urology
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School & Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey

I joined the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in August 2014 and am an associate professor of surgery in the Division of Urology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. I received my undergraduate degree in Chemical Biology at the Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ) with high honors and then completed my medical degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers)—New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ. Excelling in both clinical and research endeavors, I completed my urologic surgical residency at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University (Providence, RI). Following graduation from urologic residency, I completed a two-year Endourology Society accredited fellowship at the Smith Institute for Urology (part of the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System in New Hyde Park, NY), under the guidance of Drs. Arthur Smith and Louis Kavoussi. I have a passion for robotic urologic surgery and medical education. My practice is focused on advanced robotic urologic oncology and robotic reconstruction. I have experience with multiport and singleport robotic approaches and strive to provide minimally invasive solutions for my patients. I have conducted several firsts at RWJUH including robotic intracorporeal ileal conduit and neobladder, robotic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy, buccal mucosal onlay, appendiceal onlay and bypass as well as single port partial nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy, and pyeloplasty.

I am a member of the American Urologic Association, the Endourologic Society, and the Soceity of Urologic Oncology.

I am the Associate Program Director for the Urology Residency at RWJMS, the chief of section of general urology at Rutgers RWJMS, and the director of robotic surgical services at Robert Wood Johnson University Hosptial in New Brunswick, NJ.
