About
Nicolas Geurts is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder cancer. His major contributions include pioneering comparative analyses of robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy versus holmium laser enucleation for large-volume prostates (>100 ml), demonstrating the safety and efficacy of these minimally invasive approaches. Geurts also developed the "Aalst Technique" for early catheter removal after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, significantly improving patient recovery protocols. His research on robot-assisted radical cystectomy in octogenarians has been instrumental in expanding surgical options for elderly bladder cancer patients, showing favorable perioperative outcomes and cancer-specific survival. With over 310 total citations, his most influential work—including the 2016 comparative study (99 citations) and the 2015 surgical technique paper (81 citations)—has shaped clinical practice at high-volume robotic centers. Geurts has also explored emerging technologies like PSMA radioguided surgery for prostate cancer, reflecting his commitment to integrating novel imaging into surgical decision-making. His work consistently emphasizes improving patient outcomes through innovation, making him a respected voice in robotic urologic oncology and benign prostatic disease management.
