About
Andrei D. Cumpanas is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney stone disease. His primary research focus is the integration of robotic-assisted platforms into complex stone management, particularly through the development and clinical validation of combined mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS). Dr. Cumpanas’s major contribution is his early clinical experience with the MONARCH Platform (Johnson & Johnson MedTech), where he demonstrated the technical feasibility of performing this combined procedure by a single urologist—a significant step toward streamlining multi-modal stone treatment. His 2024 paper on this topic has already garnered 14 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. He further solidified this contribution with a 2025 step-by-step video guide, providing a standardized, reproducible framework for electromagnetic-guided renal access and robotic lithotripsy. This work positions him at the forefront of robotic urology, offering a practical roadmap for surgeons adopting this technology. Dr. Cumpanas’s research not only enhances surgical precision but also promises to reduce operative times and improve patient outcomes, making him a key figure in the evolution of endourology.
