About
Damien Bolton is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, prostate cancer treatment, and surgical outcomes optimization. His research has made significant contributions to understanding the technical and patient-centered dimensions of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a field in which he has become a recognized authority. Bolton's most-cited work examines positive surgical margins following radical prostatectomy, drawing on data from nearly 2,400 patients through the Prostate Cancer Registry (49 citations), while subsequent studies have explored patient satisfaction, urinary continence recovery, and the influence of age on postoperative outcomes. Notably, his team pioneered objective measurement approaches to pelvic floor physiotherapy after robotic surgery, contributing practical clinical guidance for rehabilitation. Beyond prostate cancer, Bolton has investigated robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for complex renal tumors and tackled an often-overlooked technical challenge—laparoscopic lens fogging—producing multiple studies that have collectively attracted over 75 citations. His embrace of innovative methodologies, including machine learning analysis of patient-reported outcomes from online support communities, reflects a forward-thinking research philosophy. Collectively, his body of work meaningfully advances both the safety and patient experience of minimally invasive urological surgery.
