About

Dr. Jean Rouffilange is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive urology and transplantation. His primary research focuses on developing novel robotic approaches to complex surgical procedures, with a particular emphasis on kidney transplantation and nerve-sparing techniques. Dr. Rouffilange’s most significant contribution is his groundbreaking work on total preperitoneal robot-assisted kidney transplantation (2017, 11 citations), which challenges the long-standing paradigm of open surgery for transplant recipients. By demonstrating the feasibility of a fully robotic, minimally invasive approach, he has opened the door to reduced wound complications and faster recovery for this vulnerable patient population. Further showcasing his innovative spirit, he authored the first case-series on robot-assisted pudendal nerve release (2023, 9 citations), establishing a new, precise technique for a challenging condition. His recent insights on the lateral approach in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (2024) continue to refine functional outcomes by focusing on critical anatomical preservation. Through these pioneering case-series and technique papers, Dr. Rouffilange is actively shaping the future of robotic surgery, proving that even the most established surgical fields can be revolutionized.
