About

Dr. Brant R. Fulmer is a pioneering figure in pediatric and adult robotic urologic surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing minimally invasive techniques. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex reconstructive procedures and the establishment of clinical robotics programs. Dr. Fulmer’s major contributions are documented in several landmark papers. He described the initial experience with laparoscopic robot-assisted appendicovesicostomy (38 citations), a critical procedure for continent urinary diversion in patients with conditions like myelomeningocele and prune-belly syndrome. He also reported the first robotic-assisted approach for posterior bladder neck dissection and placement of a pediatric bladder neck sling (29 citations), offering a novel solution for urinary incontinence. Beyond specific techniques, Dr. Fulmer’s work on "Establishing a robotics program" (26 citations) has served as a foundational guide for institutions seeking to implement robotic surgery. His collaborative experience with 100 robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomies further underscores his extensive clinical impact. Through these contributions, Dr. Fulmer has helped define the standard of care for robotic urologic surgery, particularly in challenging pediatric and adult populations.
