About
Matthew J. Maurice is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive and robotic approaches to kidney and prostate surgery. His research centers on robotic partial nephrectomy, single-port surgical systems, and renal function preservation — areas in which he has helped redefine clinical standards. Among his most influential contributions is his early investigation of purpose-built single-port robotic platforms, including pioneering descriptions of the da Vinci SP system for both retroperitoneal renal surgery and perineal radical prostatectomy, work that collectively has garnered over 140 citations. Maurice has also made substantial contributions to understanding how surgical precision affects patient outcomes, particularly through his studies on excisional volume loss during partial nephrectomy and its downstream impact on renal function — research that challenges surgeons to continually refine their technique. His comparative analyses of transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal robotic approaches and robot-assisted versus open surgery for complex tumors, including completely endophytic and large renal masses, have provided valuable guidance to practicing urologists. With over 500 citations across his top papers, Maurice's body of work reflects a consistent commitment to improving oncologic and functional outcomes in urologic oncology.
