About

Gjoko Stojanoski is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His key research areas include the prevention and risk stratification of postoperative complications—particularly lymphocele formation—and the impact of patient factors such as obesity on surgical success. Stojanoski led a landmark prospective study on the use of a peritoneal flap to prevent lymphocele after RARP with pelvic lymph node dissection, a paper that has garnered 29 citations and provides critical evidence for a common but understudied complication. He also identified high BMI, aggressive tumor characteristics, and prolonged console time as independent predictors of symptomatic lymphocele, contributing 19 citations to the literature. In a separate multicenter study (8 citations), he demonstrated that obesity is associated with higher rates of positive surgical margins, clarifying a previously inconsistent relationship. These contributions have practical implications for surgical planning and patient counseling, and his work is frequently cited by peers seeking to reduce morbidity in robotic prostate cancer surgery.
