About

Maxim Janowski is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted versus open surgery for genitourinary cancers, particularly bladder and prostate cancer. His most cited work, a prospective observational study from 2013, directly compared early postoperative morbidity after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC). With 72 citations, this study provided crucial early evidence that RARC could offer advantages in recovery, helping to shape the modern surgical approach to bladder cancer. Janowski also made notable contributions to the understanding of surgical learning curves. In a 2013 study (6 citations), he critically examined whether an experienced open prostate surgeon could safely transition to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) without compromising patient outcomes. His findings, which highlighted the importance of structured mentorship, have guided training protocols for surgeons adopting robotic techniques. Through these works, Janowski has advanced the evidence base for minimally invasive urologic oncology, directly impacting surgical decision-making and patient care.
