About

Nikolaos Grivas is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing the surgical management of prostate cancer and kidney disease, with a particular focus on robot-assisted techniques. His major contributions lie in refining preoperative imaging and intraoperative strategies to improve patient outcomes. Notably, his systematic review comparing robot-assisted to open partial nephrectomy (78 citations) has helped establish robotic surgery as a standard for renal masses, while his investigation into seminal vesicle invasion on multi-parametric MRI (43 citations) has enhanced staging accuracy. Grivas has also made pivotal strides in continence preservation after radical prostatectomy, demonstrating that quantitative assessment of fascia preservation and anatomical features like membranous urethral length can predict recovery (41 citations). His work on sentinel node biopsy in prostate cancer, including a phase II randomized trial (31 citations), has clarified its role in detecting nodal metastases and guiding adjuvant therapy. With over 400 total citations across his top papers, Grivas is a key figure in evidence-based urologic oncology, shaping both clinical guidelines and surgical practice.
