About

Dr. G. Pasticier is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing minimally invasive, robot-assisted techniques for complex pelvic procedures. A true innovator in the field, his landmark 2001 study, "Robotically Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: Feasibility Study in Men," with 289 citations, established the foundational proof-of-concept for robotic prostate surgery, fundamentally altering the standard of care for prostate cancer. This seminal work demonstrated the safety and feasibility of the approach, paving the way for its global adoption. Beyond oncology, Dr. Pasticier has explored the frontiers of robotic surgery for functional and reconstructive urology. His recent work on a four-step robotic technique for decompressing the pudendal and inferior cluneal nerves addresses a challenging cause of chronic pelvic pain, showcasing his continued drive to apply robotic precision to new indications. He has also investigated the expansion of robotic surgery into nephron-sparing procedures, such as day-case partial nephrectomy, and has compared outcomes of open versus robot-assisted cystectomy with orthotopic bladder replacement. Through this body of work, Dr. Pasticier remains a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
