Dr. Emil Kheterpal
Experienced urologist Emil M. Kheterpal, MD, brings more than a decade of experience in urologic oncology and robotic urology surgery to the Associated Urologists of North Carolina, practicing out of their Raleigh and Wake Forest locations. Dr. Kheterpal began his medical career in Massachusetts and obtained his Doctor of Medicine from Boston University. Dr. Kheterpal then completed a urology residency at Henry Ford Hospital and the Vattikuti Urology Institute, a world-renowned leader in robotics and robotic surgery in Detroit. Before entering private practice, Dr. Kheterpal attended New York University to complete the Bruce Sherman fellowship in urologic oncology. There, Dr. Kheterpal was an early adopter of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Additionally, Dr. Kheterpal completed a brief fellowship at the Kulkarni Endosurgery Institute’s Center for Reconstructive Urology in Maharashtra, India. Dr. Kheterpal subsequently worked in a large health care system in New York as Director of Urologic Oncology and Robotic Urology Surgery. After he met his wife, he moved to North Carolina to be closer to family and joined the team at the Associated Urologists of North Carolina. Dr. Kheterpal specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer and regularly uses cutting-edge treatments — robotic surgery and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) robotic surgery. He is an expert at robotic surgery for prostate and kidney cancer as well as complex reconstructive surgeries. He enjoys caring for patients with general urology issues including kidney stones, low testosterone, benign prostate enlargement and is an expert at the urolift procedure. Dr. Kheterpal loves spending one-on-one time with his patients and provides the highest quality of care based on the most recent literature.

All surgical treatments have inherent and associated side effects. Individual’s outcomes may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to patient characteristics, disease characteristics and/or surgeon experience. The most common side effects are mild and transient and may include mild pain or difficulty when urinating, discomfort in the pelvis, blood in the urine, inability to empty the bladder or a frequent and/or urgent need to urinate, and bladder or urinary tract infection. Other risks include ejaculatory dysfunction and a low risk of injury to the urethra or rectum where the devices gain access to the body for treatment. Further, there may be other risks as in other urological surgery, such as anesthesia risk or the risk of infection, including the potential transmission of blood borne pathogens. For more information about potential side effects and risks associated with Aquablation therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment, speak with your urologist or surgeon.
