About

Dr. Marc Kidess is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced surgical technology and oncologic precision. His primary research areas encompass robotic-assisted surgery, molecular imaging, and augmented reality, with a specific focus on improving outcomes for prostate and testicular cancers. Dr. Kidess made a landmark contribution with his 2023 systematic review on new imaging technologies for robotic prostatectomy, which has already garnered 23 citations. This work critically evaluated how molecular imaging and augmented reality can be integrated into the robotic console, offering a roadmap for real-time tumor visualization during radical prostatectomy. In 2025, he led the GRAND study, a nationwide German analysis of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for testicular cancer. With 4 citations to date, this study provides vital, evidence-based insights into perioperative outcomes, the impact of surgical approach, prior chemotherapy, and hospital caseload. By bridging cutting-edge imaging with large-scale national data, Dr. Kidess is shaping the future of minimally invasive, image-guided oncologic surgery, making his work essential reading for any researcher or clinician in urologic oncology.
