About

Brian D. Robinson is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robotic prostatectomy and radical cystectomy for prostate and bladder cancers. His major contribution is the development of a risk-stratified, anatomical grading system for nerve-sparing during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP)—a technique that tailors the preservation of neural-hammock tissue to each patient’s tumor risk. This approach has been shown to significantly accelerate the return of urinary continence, with his foundational 2011 paper on anatomical grades of nerve sparing accumulating over 226 citations. His 2012 study on risk-stratified nerve sparing and early continence (124 citations) further solidified this impact. Beyond prostate surgery, Robinson has explored innovative treatments for chronic orchialgia using multiphoton imaging and laser ablation, and has contributed to outcomes research in robotic cystectomy. He is also leading the PARTIAL trial, a prospective randomized study comparing pelvic fascia-sparing techniques to conventional robotic prostatectomy. With a citation record exceeding 500 across his top works, Robinson’s research directly shapes surgical practice, helping patients recover function faster after cancer treatment.
