About

Elias Atri is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in robotic prostatectomy. His primary research areas include surgical positioning, perioperative safety, and the adoption of innovative techniques in minimally invasive urology. Atri’s most notable contribution is his study on patient positioning trends for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), published in 2021. This work surveyed members of the Endourological Society to assess current practices and attitudes toward supine versus lithotomy positioning, highlighting how newer robotic platforms may reduce positioning-related complications. Although early in its citation impact, the paper has been cited five times and is gaining recognition as a practical reference for surgeons seeking to optimize patient safety. Atri’s research addresses a critical gap in operative ergonomics and complication prevention, offering evidence that can directly influence clinical protocols. His work reflects a commitment to advancing urologic surgery through data-driven improvements, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing evolution of robotic prostatectomy techniques.
