About
David Gillatt is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and minimally invasive techniques for prostate and bladder cancer treatment. His major contributions include pioneering studies on salvage radical prostatectomy for recurrent prostate cancer, where his multicenter research demonstrated that robotic approaches can significantly improve functional outcomes and reduce morbidity compared to open surgery—a finding with over 90 citations. He has also been instrumental in refining robot-assisted radical cystectomy, showing that combining this technique with enhanced recovery protocols reduces hospital stays and complications, as evidenced by his highly cited 2015 study. Gillatt’s impact extends to preoperative risk assessment; his work on cardiopulmonary exercise testing to predict complications after cystectomy has been cited over 50 times, helping to identify high-risk patients. Notably, he has explored innovative technologies like MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy for improved cancer detection and even contributed to the design of a multi-DOF cable-driven surgical instrument, μAngelo, for enhanced dexterity in minimally invasive surgery. With a career spanning over 100 publications and numerous multicenter collaborations, Gillatt’s research has shaped modern urological oncology, making surgery safer and more effective for patients worldwide.
