About

Charalambos Deliveliotis is a distinguished urological surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the understanding and treatment of prostate cancer and urolithiasis. His seminal work on radical prostatectomy complications, published in 2008, systematically applied the Clavien classification system to 995 patients undergoing open retropubic radical prostatectomy. This landmark study, cited over 70 times, provided the first comprehensive framework for standardizing and reporting both short- and long-term surgical complications, fundamentally improving postoperative care and patient counseling. Deliveliotis has also made substantial contributions to endourology, authoring a highly cited 2009 review on ureteroscopic treatment for urolithiasis that documented the transformative impact of novel digital flexible ureteroscopes and advanced working tools on stone management. His investigation into crossing vessels in ureteropelvic junction obstruction further demonstrates his commitment to understanding complex anatomical factors in surgical outcomes. Through these influential studies, Deliveliotis has helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for urological surgery, directly impacting clinical practice and patient safety worldwide.
