About

Xavier Bonet is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for complex, high-stakes procedures—particularly in prostate cancer care. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of nerve-sparing techniques during salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP), a challenging operation for cancer recurrence after primary treatment. His 2018 study (33 citations) established that preserving neurovascular bundles in this context is achievable, offering patients better functional outcomes without compromising oncological control. Bonet also rigorously defined the surgical learning curve for sRARP (14 citations), providing a roadmap for other surgeons to adopt this demanding technique. Beyond prostate cancer, he has expanded the robotic frontier to include orthotopic robot-assisted kidney transplantation (10 citations) and multicenter studies on robot-assisted ureteroenteric reimplantation (9 citations), tackling rare but devastating complications like ureteroenteric strictures and rectovesical fistulas. His work on the safety of live robotic surgery (20 citations) further underscores his commitment to procedural rigor. With a career defined by technical innovation and meticulous outcomes analysis, Bonet is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
