About
Christophe Iselin is a Swiss urological surgeon whose career has been defined by pioneering the clinical application of robotic and minimally invasive techniques across a broad spectrum of urological procedures. His research spans robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, living donor nephrectomy, kidney transplantation, and surgical management of post-transplant complications, establishing him as a leading voice in the adoption of robotic surgery within European urology. Among his most significant contributions, Iselin has systematically evaluated the comparative merits of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches in living donor nephrectomy, addressing critical concerns such as warm ischemia time and surgeon learning curves — work that has accumulated 25 citations since 2022. His early advocacy for the da Vinci robotic system, evidenced by publications dating to 2007 and 2008, helped lay the groundwork for broader institutional acceptance of surgical robotics. He has also made notable contributions to patient safety, authoring a systematic review of positioning-related peripheral neuropathies during robotic prostatectomy, and has explored long-term functional outcomes including sexual recovery following nerve-sparing prostatectomy. With research spanning over fifteen years and addressing both oncological and reconstructive urological challenges, Iselin's body of work represents a sustained commitment to advancing precision surgery and improving patient outcomes in complex urological care.
