About

E. Mourtzilas is a urological surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures for complex urological conditions. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic pyeloplasty for treating pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO), as detailed in his most-cited paper, "Robotic pyeloplasty: Initial experience of a single UK centre" (2014, 2 citations). This study, based on 20 cases performed between 2009 and 2013, provided early evidence from a UK centre that robotic-assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty could achieve favorable outcomes, helping to establish the procedure as a viable alternative to traditional open or laparoscopic surgery. While his citation count is modest, Mourtzilas’s work contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting robotic urology, offering insights into operative techniques, complication rates, and recovery benefits. His research underscores the potential of robotics to enhance precision in reconstructive urology, making him a practitioner at the forefront of adopting innovative technologies in clinical practice.
