About
Claudio Jeldres is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to robotic surgery for prostate and bladder cancer. His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2011 study comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to open surgery, which, with over 420 citations, remains a cornerstone in the field. This nationwide analysis demonstrated that RARP offers significant perioperative advantages, including reduced complications and shorter hospital stays, providing crucial evidence for the widespread adoption of robotic techniques. Beyond this, Jeldres has driven innovation in surgical technique, notably through a prospective randomized trial showing that barbed sutures for vesico-urethral anastomosis reduce operative time and costs. He has also critically examined the economics of robotic surgery, authored key validations of prognostic nomograms for seminal vesicle invasion, and advanced standards for training and outcome monitoring in robotic urology. Through these contributions, Jeldres has not only improved patient outcomes but also established a rigorous, evidence-based foundation for the safe and cost-effective integration of robotics into urologic practice.
