About
Dr. Edouard J. Trabulsi is a pioneering urologic oncologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to prostate cancer surgery and surgical education. His research centers on the validation and evolution of robotic-assisted surgery, multimodal pain management, and multidisciplinary cancer care. A landmark contribution is the "Face, Content, and Construct Validation of the da Vinci Skills Simulator" (120 citations), which established a critical framework for objectively assessing robotic surgical proficiency. Dr. Trabulsi also demonstrated the power of collaborative care in his 15-year study on the multidisciplinary clinic approach (105 citations), showing how team-based strategies enhance prostate cancer outcomes. His work on preemptive multimodal pain regimens (95 citations) has been instrumental in reducing opioid dependence after robotic prostatectomy, directly improving patient recovery. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Trabulsi has advanced surgical training through virtual reality simulation and pioneered the use of individualized 3D-printed models for patient education and surgical planning in partial nephrectomies. His comprehensive studies on positive surgical margins and biochemical recurrence have provided surgeons with critical insights to optimize cancer control. With over 500 cumulative citations, Dr. Trabulsi remains a leading voice in integrating technology, education, and patient-centered care to elevate the standard of urologic oncology.
