About
Dr. Charles B. Brendler is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing the field of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP). His key research areas center on optimizing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on nerve preservation, managing complex patient populations, and refining perioperative outcomes. A major contribution is his work on a modified clipless, antegrade nerve-sparing approach during RARP, which was validated with rigorous sexual function evaluations (117 citations). He also established critical benchmarks for the procedure, including detailed analyses of the first 100 patients with one-year follow-up (88 citations) and comprehensive assessments of pelvic lymphadenectomy, demonstrating high nodal yields with low complication rates (108 citations). Dr. Brendler’s impact is further underscored by his investigation of RARP in overweight and obese patients (89 citations), proving the technique’s safety and efficacy in challenging cases. Notably, his early work highlighted how prior laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair can complicate subsequent radical prostatectomy (68 citations), a crucial insight for surgical planning. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Brendler has helped shape modern, minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, improving recovery and functional outcomes for thousands of men.
