About
P. Geavlete is a pioneering endourologist whose work has reshaped the surgical management of upper urinary tract stones and obstructions. His primary research focuses on advancing flexible ureteroscopy, particularly through the integration of robotic assistance. Geavlete’s major contribution lies in championing the Roboflex Avicenna device, a robotic platform for flexible ureteroscopy that enhances precision and ergonomics. He led the initial Romanian experience with this technology, demonstrating its efficacy for renal stone lithotripsy—a landmark achievement that placed Bucharest among the first four centers worldwide to adopt it. His work, including the highly cited 2017 paper (44 citations) and the 2014 review (40 citations), systematically compared robotic to classic ureteroscopy, showing improved outcomes and operator comfort. Geavlete also explored broader applications, such as ureteropelvic junction obstruction and bladder diverticula, and contributed to multi-centric volumetric evaluations of robotic-assisted surgery. With over a decade of influential publications, his research has not only advanced minimally invasive techniques but also set new standards for ergonomic, robot-assisted endourology, making him a key figure in the field’s evolution.
