About

Evi Comploj is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on the surgical management of localized prostate cancer, with a particular focus on the radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) technique. Her major contributions lie in the critical re-evaluation of this historically significant but increasingly underutilized procedure. Through her work, Comploj has demonstrated that RPP remains a viable, low-morbidity alternative to modern approaches like robotic-assisted surgery, offering advantages such as shorter hospital stays and reduced costs without compromising oncological outcomes. Her most-cited paper, "Experience with radical perineal prostatectomy in the treatment of localized prostate cancer" (2012, 18 citations), provides a detailed single-surgeon experience that challenges the notion that RPP is outdated. In her related 2011 study (14 citations), she systematically analyzes technical aspects, oncological results, and complications—including urinary outcomes—to advocate for the procedure's continued relevance. By preserving and updating this surgical tradition, Comploj has made a lasting impact on urologic oncology, ensuring that surgeons and patients have a broader range of evidence-based treatment options.
