About
Santiago Uribe is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on patient-centered outcomes in robotic prostate cancer surgery. His investigations focus on how surgical decisions affect quality of life, particularly through the lens of decision regret and functional recovery. In his landmark 2020 study on patient satisfaction after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, Uribe demonstrated that nearly one in five men experience regret post-surgery, with factors like urinary function and shared decision-making playing pivotal roles—a finding that has shaped counseling protocols worldwide. His 2023 matched-pair analysis further advanced the field by showing that obese men can achieve oncological and functional outcomes comparable to non-obese peers when undergoing robotic surgery, challenging prior assumptions about surgical risk in this population. With over 45 combined citations for these two papers alone, Uribe’s work bridges the gap between technical surgical outcomes and the lived experiences of patients. His research has been instrumental in promoting more nuanced preoperative discussions and refining patient selection criteria for robotic prostatectomy, making him a key voice in the movement toward value-based, patient-reported surgical care.
