About
Dr. Fouad Aoun is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of prostate and bladder cancers. His work centers on comparing innovative, minimally invasive techniques—particularly robotic-assisted and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedures—against traditional open surgery. Aoun’s most impactful contribution is a landmark matched-pair analysis comparing HIFU hemiablation to robotic prostatectomy for unilateral prostate cancer (47 citations), which provided crucial early evidence on functional and oncologic trade-offs. He has also led major systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including a pivotal comparison of open versus robotic radical cystectomy (37 citations), helping to define the evidence base for robotic adoption. His research extends to predicting cancer recurrence using inflammatory biomarkers like neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and to rigorously assessing patient quality of life beyond standard continence and erectile function metrics. With over 180 citations across his top works, Aoun has also contributed critical cost-analyses of robotic surgery across Europe and helped validate novel morbidity scoring systems like the Comprehensive Complication Index for complex cystectomy patients. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers navigating the evolution toward less invasive, patient-centered urologic oncology.
