About

Luis Ribeiro is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced surgical robotics and data-driven healthcare. His primary research areas include minimally invasive prostate surgery, focal therapy outcomes, and the application of artificial intelligence in clinical decision-making. Ribeiro’s major contributions are best exemplified by his leadership of the RAFT trial, the first prospective study to systematically report toxicity outcomes following robotic salvage surgery after focal therapy for recurrent prostate cancer—a critical step in defining safe treatment pathways for this challenging patient group. He has also authored the first comparative analysis of HoLEP versus robot-assisted simple prostatectomy for extremely large prostates (≥200 cc), providing essential guidance for surgeons managing complex benign prostatic enlargement. With over 20 citations on his RAFT trial alone and a rapidly growing body of work, Ribeiro is shaping evidence-based practice in robotic urology. His recent exploration of the NHS Federated Data Platform signals a forward-looking commitment to turning real-world data into actionable clinical insights, positioning him as a leader in the next wave of precision surgical care.
