About

Philip Dundee is a pioneering Australian urological surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery. His work spans robotic-assisted radical cystectomy, partial nephrectomy, prostate cancer surgery, and surgical simulation and education. Dundee's most influential contribution — a 2021 review of simulation training and 3D synthetic organs for robotic surgery education (57 citations) — has helped shape how the next generation of surgeons acquires complex operative skills. His early Australian experience with robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal urinary diversion helped establish the procedure's viability in an Australian context, while his subsequent systematic reviews have continued to rigorously interrogate the comparative merits of robotic versus open approaches. Dundee has also contributed to internationally developed nephrometry scoring systems tailored specifically to robotic partial nephrectomy, reflecting his global collaborative reach. Notably, his 2024 first-in-human implantable neurostimulator study for erectile rehabilitation post-prostatectomy signals a bold frontier in restoring patient quality of life. Across his career, Dundee exemplifies a surgeon-scientist committed to refining technique, validating innovation, and improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practice.
