About
Clancy Mulholland is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. He is best known for co-developing the RPN (Radius, Position of tumour, iNvasion of renal sinus) Classification and Nephrometry Scoring System, an internationally developed clinical tool specifically designed to describe surgical difficulty for robotic partial nephrectomy. This landmark work, published in 2023, has already garnered 11 citations and is shaping preoperative planning for renal masses worldwide. Mulholland also leads efforts to transform postoperative care, as demonstrated by his prospective cohort study on same-day discharge after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This Australian approach challenges traditional hospital stays, showing that with careful patient selection and protocol, discharge on the day of surgery is both safe and feasible—a finding with significant implications for patient recovery and healthcare resource utilization. His research directly addresses the evolving landscape of minimally invasive urological oncology, blending technical innovation with practical, patient-centered outcomes. Through these contributions, Mulholland is helping define best practices in robotic urological surgery.
