About

Dr. C. Bastide is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the technical challenges and oncologic outcomes of minimally invasive urologic surgery, particularly in the management of prostate cancer and complex stone disease. A key contribution is the first reported case of an exceptional ureteral stent migration following antegrade placement during robot-assisted pyelotomy, a rare complication that underscores the critical need for intraoperative fluoroscopic control. This case report, published in 2019, has garnered 7 citations, serving as a cautionary reference for urologists performing robotic stone surgery. Dr. Bastide has also made significant contributions to evidence-based urology through meta-analytic work, including a critical analysis comparing the morbidity, functional, and oncologic outcomes of different surgical approaches to radical prostatectomy (3 citations). Additionally, they led the external validation of side-specific nomograms for predicting extra-prostatic extension in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (2 citations), a study that helps refine preoperative risk stratification. As an active member of the AFU (French Association of Urology) Cancer Committee, Dr. Bastide’s work bridges clinical practice and rigorous outcomes research, providing valuable insights for surgeons seeking to optimize patient safety and oncologic control.
