About

Dr. Damian Hanbury is a distinguished urological surgeon whose research centers on the application of robotic-assisted surgery for complex renal and urinary tract conditions. His major contributions lie in advancing the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive procedures for challenging patient populations. Notably, his highly cited 2014 work, "The physiologic and anesthetic considerations in elderly patients undergoing robotic renal surgery," established critical perioperative protocols for managing geriatric patients with renal malignancies, addressing a growing clinical need as incidental diagnoses rise worldwide. This foundational paper, with 13 citations, remains a key reference for surgical teams optimizing outcomes in older adults. Dr. Hanbury also pioneered robotic pyeloplasty in the UK, as detailed in his 2014 study on his institution’s initial experience with 20 patients, demonstrating the technique’s viability for pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction. Through these efforts, he has helped define best practices in robotic urology, blending technical innovation with patient-centered care. His work continues to influence surgical training and clinical guidelines, cementing his reputation as a leader in adapting robotic technology for high-risk populations.
