Camilo Giedelman

About

Camilo Giedelman is a leading urological surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the fields of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and robotic-assisted urology. His landmark 2011 multi-institutional analysis of 1,076 LESS cases, cited 277 times, provided the first comprehensive safety and feasibility data for this minimally invasive approach, establishing a global benchmark. He further refined LESS practice by identifying risk factors for conversion and complications in a 2012 study, directly improving patient selection and surgical planning. Giedelman has been instrumental in the adoption of robotic surgery, notably analyzing complications in robotic prostatectomy to promote safer techniques and publishing a widely-read guide on establishing efficient robotic programs. His work on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in morbidly obese patients, a propensity-score matched study, addressed a critical gap in surgical care. Beyond clinical outcomes, he has contributed to surgical pathology by proposing a standardized method to assess residual neurovascular tissue after prostatectomy. With over 470 total citations, Giedelman’s research has shaped modern urological practice, making complex surgeries safer and more accessible.
