About

Dr. Muhammad Bulbul is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for urologic cancers, particularly in the Middle East. His major contributions include systematically evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) during the initial learning curve, demonstrating that outcomes can match those of open surgery despite early challenges—a finding with 11 citations that reassures centers adopting this technology. He also developed a novel nomogram incorporating the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio to predict lymph node involvement in prostate cancer, offering a non-invasive tool to guide clinical decisions. Dr. Bulbul has been instrumental in reporting the first comprehensive perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in Lebanon, addressing a critical gap in Middle Eastern data. His innovative use of bariatric ports in 4-arm RAPN has reduced operative times, showcasing his commitment to refining surgical techniques. With over 27 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Bulbul’s research not only advances urologic oncology but also establishes benchmarks for robotic surgery in resource-limited settings, making him a key figure in the global adoption of minimally invasive urologic care.
