About
Geert De Naeyer is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic-assisted urology. Based at a high-volume robotic centre, De Naeyer has dedicated his career to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy, and benign prostatic hyperplasia management. His landmark 2010 study on the learning curve for robotic partial nephrectomy, which has garnered nearly 250 citations, provided crucial insights into how surgical experience influences perioperative outcomes — findings he reinforced in a follow-up multicenter analysis through the influential ROSULA Collaborative Group. De Naeyer has also been instrumental in formalising surgical education, contributing to the ERUS curriculum for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. His forward-looking 2019 paper on artificial intelligence and robotics in the operating room, cited 137 times, reflects his commitment to the future of surgical innovation, as does his early adoption of the novel Hugo robotic system. His research integrating multiparametric MRI to guide nerve-sparing prostatectomy further demonstrates his dedication to optimising functional patient outcomes. With over 1,400 cumulative citations, De Naeyer stands as a defining voice in modern robotic urology.
