About
Annick Mombet is a leading urological surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive techniques for prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers. Her work centers on comparing surgical approaches—laparoscopic, robotic, and micro-ultrasound—to optimize cancer detection and patient outcomes. Mombet’s landmark 2019 study (52 citations) demonstrated that transrectal MRI cognitive guided micro-ultrasound biopsies achieve detection rates comparable to established robotic fusion biopsies, offering a more accessible alternative. She has also pioneered the concept of “trifecta” outcomes in nephron-sparing surgery, showing how high-volume centers can transition from laparoscopic to robotic partial nephrectomy without compromising results. Her systematic reviews on radical cystectomy (20 and 13 citations) provide critical comparisons of open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches, helping surgeons select the safest technique. Beyond surgical innovation, Mombet has investigated post-prostatectomy recovery, notably through a randomized trial (9 citations) evaluating pelvic floor training and duloxetine for urinary continence. Her work consistently bridges technical advancement with practical patient care, making her contributions essential reading for any urologist or researcher pursuing better outcomes in oncologic surgery.
