About

Dr. Romain Diamand is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is sharply focused on advancing the surgical management of bladder cancer, particularly through the refinement and validation of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). His major contributions lie in systematically comparing robotic to open approaches, demonstrating through a highly-cited 2019 meta-analysis (37 citations) that RARC offers comparable oncologic outcomes with potential perioperative benefits. Dr. Diamand has been instrumental in defining the true morbidity of these complex procedures by adopting the Comprehensive Complication Index, and in critically evaluating cost-effectiveness across Europe. A champion of surgical education, he provided the first clinical validation of the ERUS training curriculum for robotic cystectomy, a landmark achievement in standardizing urologic training. His work also explores nuanced clinical questions, including the impact of perioperative blood transfusions and the safety of continuing acetylsalicylic acid during surgery, drawing from large multi-institutional registries. With a portfolio that extends to targeted microwave ablation for prostate cancer, Dr. Diamand is a versatile innovator whose rigorous, evidence-based research is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
