About
Constance Michel is a French urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. Her major contributions come from large-scale, prospective multicentre studies within the French Kidney Cancer Research Network (UroCCR). Notably, she led the NEPRAH study (UroCCR 175), a prospective cohort comparing outcomes for hilar and nonhilar renal masses, which has already garnered 15 citations since its 2024 publication. Michel also co-authored a landmark assessment of late complications and five-year outcomes after robotic partial nephrectomy (UroCCR 10), demonstrating the long-term safety and efficacy of the technique with 10 citations. Her research extends to intraoperative innovation, having explored Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging for margin detection during radical prostatectomy in the PRIME study. Additionally, she has investigated risk factors and management strategies for open conversion during minimally invasive renal tumor surgery (UroCCR-135), providing critical guidance for surgical preparedness. Through her prospective, multicentre work, Michel has helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for robotic kidney surgery, directly influencing perioperative protocols and patient selection in France and beyond.
