About
Ruben De Groote is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery. Based at a high-volume tertiary robotic center, his research has significantly advanced the field of robot-assisted procedures, particularly radical prostatectomy, simple prostatectomy, and radical cystectomy. De Groote has been instrumental in evaluating and validating emerging robotic platforms, including pioneering early institutional experience with the Hugo RAS surgical system — work that has collectively garnered over 200 citations. His comparative analyses of robotic versus laser-based approaches for benign prostatic hyperplasia, alongside his investigations into nerve-sparing techniques guided by multiparametric MRI, have directly influenced clinical decision-making for surgeons worldwide. Notably, his contribution to developing objective surgical performance metrics for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy through the ERUS Scientific Working Group reflects his commitment to surgical education and standardization. With a portfolio accumulating over 870 citations across his top ten papers alone, De Groote's research continues to shape how robotic urological surgery is performed, taught, and critically evaluated globally.
