About
Dr. S. Rybikowski is a leading urologic surgeon specializing in advanced, minimally invasive treatments for bladder cancer, with a particular focus on female patients. Her research centers on refining robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) techniques to preserve sexual and reproductive function, challenging traditional surgical norms. In her highly cited 2021 work, "Sexual-Sparing Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy in Female: A Step-By-Step Guide" (15 citations), she provided the first detailed, reproducible protocol for nerve and organ preservation during this complex procedure. Her subsequent 2024 study (4 citations) rigorously evaluated the safety and functional outcomes of RARC with neobladder diversion in women, demonstrating that this approach can achieve excellent oncologic control while maintaining quality of life. By systematically documenting surgical steps and outcomes, Dr. Rybikowski has established a new standard for gender-specific surgical care in urologic oncology. Her work empowers surgeons to move beyond the traditional hystero-adnexectomy, offering female patients a chance for preserved sexual function and body image without compromising cancer treatment. She is a pivotal voice in the movement toward personalized, function-preserving cancer surgery.
