About

Andrew Harbin is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic and laparoscopic approaches for prostate and kidney conditions. His most impactful contribution is a landmark multi-institutional study on robotic and laparoscopic simple prostatectomy, which has garnered 197 citations and established critical benchmarks for perioperative outcomes across European and American centers. Harbin has also demonstrated a keen interest in surgical education and skill acquisition, notably showing that prior video game experience correlates with improved performance on robotic simulators—a finding with practical implications for training the next generation of surgeons. His research extends to high-risk prostate cancer management, where he has explored the role of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy during radical prostatectomy, and to rare urologic pathologies, including collecting duct renal cell carcinoma and oncocytic adrenocortical neoplasms. Through collaborative, multi-institutional studies and case reports, Harbin has contributed to refining surgical protocols, improving patient selection, and expanding the evidence base for robotic urologic surgery.
