About
D. Kevin Horton is a leading figure in robotic-assisted urologic surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancer. His most impactful work includes a prospective comparison of the AirSeal® valve-less trocar system against standard trocars in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a study that has garnered 69 citations and helped refine insufflation methods during minimally invasive procedures. Horton has also made significant contributions to surgical education, notably through his investigation of the Da Vinci® Skills Simulator™ for early identification of talented console surgeons (34 citations), advancing the field of robotic training and credentialing. His research extends to comparative analyses of extraperitoneal versus transperitoneal approaches in RARP (18 citations), providing valuable data on surgical outcomes. Additionally, Horton has explored the technical nuances of urethral anastomosis following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), contributing to German-language literature on this challenging procedure. His work consistently emphasizes practical, evidence-based improvements in robotic surgery, with a cumulative citation impact exceeding 120. Horton’s dedication to refining both surgical tools and training methodologies has established him as a respected voice in the urologic robotics community.
