About
Matthew Dunn is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for kidney stone disease. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and strategies to reduce radiation exposure during urologic procedures. Dunn’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that robotic-assisted electromagnetic guidance can significantly minimize radiation exposure when gaining percutaneous renal access—a critical step in PCNL. In his notable cadaveric study with novice surgeons, he showed that this technology not only reduces radiation risk but also maintains accuracy, potentially improving safety for both patients and operators. While his most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations to date, its impact is amplified by the collaborative nature of the work, involving leading experts like Mitchell Humphreys and Ben Chew. This study represents an important step toward integrating advanced guidance systems into routine urologic practice, with implications for training and patient outcomes. Dunn’s ongoing research continues to explore how robotics and electromagnetic tracking can enhance precision and safety in stone surgery, positioning him as a rising contributor to the field of endourology.
