About
Dr. Charles Chabert is a pioneering Australian urological surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the surgical management of prostate and kidney cancers. His research focuses on refining minimally invasive techniques, particularly robot-assisted and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP and LRP). A major contribution is his landmark analysis of nearly 3,000 laparoscopic prostatectomy cases across Australia, which established national benchmarks for fellowship-trained surgeons and validated the safety and efficacy of the non-robotic approach. Dr. Chabert is also known for his critical comparative studies on prostate biopsy accuracy, demonstrating that transperineal template biopsy provides more precise Gleason scoring and risk stratification than the standard transrectal approach—a finding with direct implications for treatment planning. His work on early vascular unclamping during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy has helped reduce warm ischaemia time, preserving kidney function. With papers cited over 100 times collectively, Dr. Chabert’s research has shaped surgical training and patient outcomes, notably through his detailed analysis of the learning curve for surgeons transitioning from open to robotic prostatectomy.
