About
Dr. Georgi Gradinarov is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on optimizing functional outcomes without compromising oncologic control. His major contributions lie in the refinement and validation of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (rsRARP), a minimally invasive approach that accesses the prostate through the pouch of Douglas to preserve critical anatomical structures. His seminal 2019 paper, cited 39 times, provided crucial early evidence that rsRARP can achieve excellent functional results—especially rapid continence recovery—even in aggressive and locally advanced prostate cancer, challenging the notion that such patients must sacrifice quality of life. This work has helped expand the indications for nerve-sparing and Retzius-sparing techniques, influencing surgical practice worldwide. Dr. Gradinarov’s research bridges the gap between oncologic aggressiveness and patient-centered recovery, making him a key voice in the evolution of robotic prostate surgery. His ongoing investigations continue to shape how surgeons balance cancer control with the preservation of urinary and sexual function.
