About
Dorit E. Zilberman is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for prostate and kidney conditions. Her major contributions focus on identifying patient-specific factors—such as obesity and prolonged operative time—that influence surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). Through detailed stepwise analyses, she has demonstrated how body mass index impacts both operative duration and positive surgical margins, providing actionable insights for surgical planning. Her research also extends to comparative effectiveness, showing that robotic partial nephrectomy significantly reduces postoperative pseudoaneurysm risk compared to open or laparoscopic approaches, and that robot-assisted pyeloplasty offers excellent outcomes for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. With her most-cited papers accumulating over 140 citations, Zilberman’s work has shaped evidence-based guidelines and training protocols. Notably, she has investigated the value of Retzius space reconstruction and the role of assistant seniority, finding no impact on perioperative course—findings that streamline surgical teams. Her recent studies on prophylactic antibiotic use and pelvic kidney pyelolithotomy further underscore her commitment to refining minimally invasive urologic care.
