About

T. Briggs is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of robotic surgery, bladder cancer management, and prostate cancer treatment. Operating at the forefront of minimally invasive urology, Briggs has built an impressive body of research focused on robot-assisted radical cystectomy, robotic prostatectomy, and the optimization of surgical training frameworks. Among Briggs's most influential contributions is a landmark 2022 randomized trial comparing robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion against open surgery, which has accumulated over 320 citations and provided critical evidence guiding contemporary bladder cancer surgical practice. Complementing this, Briggs has pioneered intracorporeal urinary reconstruction techniques, including the robot-assisted pyramid neobladder, pushing the boundaries of fully intracorporeal surgery. Equally impactful is Briggs's dedication to surgical education, with widely cited reviews on robotic training curricula and learning curves — essential reading for surgeons navigating the adoption of robotic platforms. Additional notable work includes the NeuroSAFE PROOF feasibility trial, investigating nerve-sparing techniques during prostatectomy, and research optimizing urinary continence recovery. With a combined citation count exceeding 900 across ten papers, Briggs's contributions are shaping evidence-based robotic urology internationally.
