About
Dr. Zisis Kratiras is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work bridges the gap between advanced surgical oncology and cutting-edge medical technology. His primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive treatments for urologic cancers, particularly renal cell carcinoma and prostate cancer. Dr. Kratiras’s most impactful contribution is a landmark 2024 propensity-matched cohort study comparing percutaneous microwave ablation to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for Stage I renal cell carcinoma, which has already garnered 15 citations for its critical long-term oncologic outcomes data. He is also a pioneer in the integration of digital tools into the operating room, as demonstrated by his Phase I study of a novel tablet-based image-guided surgical system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (10 citations). This work directly addresses a key challenge in prostate cancer surgery: the effective use of preoperative imaging during the procedure. By systematically evaluating both the oncologic efficacy of ablation versus robotic surgery and the practical utility of intraoperative guidance systems, Dr. Kratiras is helping to define safer, more effective, and more technologically advanced standards of care for patients with urologic malignancies.
