About

Erez Gilad is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures for kidney cancer. His primary research areas include nephron-sparing surgery, hemostatic agents in urologic oncology, and perioperative outcomes in robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). Gilad’s most notable contribution is his pioneering evaluation of biological glues—specifically Starsil® Hemostat—as a tool to reduce bleeding complications during RPN. His 2019 study on this topic, though early in citation impact with 3 citations, addresses a critical challenge in renal surgery: minimizing blood loss and transfusion requirements while preserving renal function. This work has helped lay groundwork for safer, more effective hemostatic protocols in robotic urologic oncology. Beyond this, Gilad’s broader research portfolio explores surgical innovation and patient safety in complex urologic procedures. His contributions are especially valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking to refine robotic techniques and improve outcomes for patients with small renal masses. As robotic surgery continues to expand, Gilad’s focus on practical, intraoperative solutions positions him as a thoughtful contributor to the evolution of nephron-sparing surgery.
