About
Dr. Andrew J. Patterson is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques and outcomes in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His major contributions include investigating how the method of prostate biopsy—transrectal versus transperineal—impacts subsequent surgical, oncological, and functional results following RALP. In his 2016 study, he demonstrated that transperineal biopsy does not adversely affect perioperative complications, cancer control, or early functional recovery, offering valuable guidance for clinical decision-making. While his most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations, his work contributes to a growing evidence base aimed at optimizing patient outcomes through minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Patterson’s research bridges the gap between diagnostic procedures and surgical management, highlighting the importance of procedural sequencing in urologic oncology. His findings support the safety and efficacy of transperineal biopsy in the context of robotic surgery, informing best practices for urologists and improving the patient experience from diagnosis through recovery.
