About
Oscar Laurin is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic bladder cancer surgery. His primary research focus is on optimizing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), particularly through the development and refinement of totally intracorporeal neobladder diversion—a complex procedure that reconstructs the bladder entirely within the body using robotic techniques. Laurin’s landmark 2013 study, cited over 180 times, established the oncologic safety, functional outcomes, and complication rates of this approach, while his 2014 two-institution series of 132 patients (125 citations) demonstrated its reproducibility. He has also rigorously analyzed the learning curve for RARC (104 citations), showing that outcomes improve significantly with surgeon experience. Beyond technique, Laurin has investigated ureteric stricture rates and enhanced recovery protocols, contributing to the evolution of cystectomy care over an 11-year period at Karolinska University Hospital. His work has helped transform radical cystectomy from a morbid open procedure into a minimally invasive option with comparable oncologic results and faster recovery. With over 600 total citations, Laurin’s research continues to shape best practices in robotic urologic oncology, making him a key figure in the shift toward intracorporeal urinary diversion.
