About

Dr. C. Surcel is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urological conditions, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions span the management of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF), where his 2015 review (42 citations) remains a key reference for urologists navigating this rare fibrotic disease affecting the urinary tract. Dr. Surcel has been at the forefront of comparative effectiveness research, demonstrating through multicenter studies that robotic-assisted ureteral reimplantation offers advantages over open surgery, and pioneering the first comparison of retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal robot-assisted nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. His work on Retzius-sparing versus standard robotic simple prostatectomy for large prostates has helped refine surgical approaches to reduce morbidity while maintaining outcomes. With over 60 cumulative citations, Dr. Surcel’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, advancing the adoption of robotic platforms to improve recovery and precision in urologic oncology and reconstructive surgery.
