About

Simon Gelman is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on reconstructive urology and oncologic precision. His most impactful contributions include a decade-long, multi-institutional study on robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty, which has garnered significant attention for demonstrating the durability and safety of this complex reconstructive procedure. Dr. Gelman has also been at the forefront of integrating three-dimensional visualization technology into surgery; his research on the IRIS segmented 3D model shows how intraoperative use of this tool can enhance surgical precision during robotic partial nephrectomy, ultimately helping to preserve more healthy kidney tissue. Additionally, he has explored the nuances of single-port robotic surgery, investigating how incision location affects cosmetic outcomes in urologic reconstruction. With his most-cited papers each accumulating around 9 citations in a short time, Dr. Gelman’s work is rapidly shaping best practices in robotic urology, making him a key voice for surgeons seeking to blend cutting-edge technology with improved patient outcomes.
