About
Dominique Prapotnich is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive urological surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques for prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers. His work has been instrumental in defining the learning curves and optimizing outcomes for complex procedures such as radical prostatectomy and nephron-sparing surgery. Prapotnich’s research, which has garnered over 150 citations, includes pioneering studies on achieving the “trifecta” of oncological control, functional recovery, and complication avoidance in robotic kidney surgery. He has also conducted comprehensive systematic reviews comparing open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical cystectomy, providing critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Notably, his work on biochemical recurrence-free conditional probability after prostatectomy offers dynamic prognostic tools that help tailor follow-up care. Prapotnich’s contributions extend to landmark papers on the evolution and future of robotics in urology, cementing his role as a key voice in the field’s technological transformation. His rigorous analyses continue to guide surgeons in mastering these advanced techniques, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
