About

B. Mayer Grob is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic surgery, oncologic outcomes in urologic cancers, and surgical training. His most cited paper, a 2023 literature review on oncologic outcomes following radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (35 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of factors affecting prognosis after this gold-standard procedure. Grob has made significant contributions to understanding the balance of robotic versus open surgical training, as demonstrated in his 2019 study (18 citations) examining whether graduating urology residents achieve adequate exposure to both techniques. His research also addresses patient-centered outcomes, including a 2019 evidence-based analysis (8 citations) on how robotic prostatectomy impacts sick leave and return to work compared to open surgery. Earlier work includes pioneering reports on combined robotic nephroureterectomy and cystoprostatectomy, as well as completely intracorporeal robotic ileovesicostomy for neurogenic bladder. Through these studies, Grob has helped shape contemporary understanding of robotic surgery’s role in urologic oncology, surgical education, and postoperative recovery, with his work cited across clinical and training contexts.
