About

Andrei S. Purysko is a leading researcher in urologic oncology and advanced prostate cancer imaging, with a particular focus on integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into surgical planning and outcomes. His work has pioneered the use of preoperative prostate MRI to identify anatomical predictors of early urinary continence following minimally invasive procedures, notably in single-port transvesical robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Purysko’s landmark 2022 paper, which introduced the initial series and technique for single-port robotic transvesical partial prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer, has garnered 30 citations, establishing a foundational approach for nerve-sparing and continence-preserving surgery. His 2024 follow-up study further refined these MRI-based anatomical predictors, demonstrating how precise imaging can guide surgical decisions to enhance patient recovery. By bridging radiology and surgical innovation, Purysko’s contributions have directly improved functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients, reducing post-operative incontinence. His work is highly regarded for its translational impact, offering urologists and radiologists a data-driven roadmap to personalize treatment. With a growing citation footprint, Purysko continues to shape the future of targeted, image-guided prostate cancer surgery.
