About

Dr. Georgi Guruli is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex urologic procedures. His most impactful contribution is a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis of over 87,000 cases comparing robotic nephroureterectomy to other surgical approaches, which has garnered 89 citations and established evidence-based guidelines for treating upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Dr. Guruli has also made significant strides in robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR), publishing a comparative study demonstrating that RAUR offers outcomes comparable to traditional open surgery while potentially reducing morbidity. His early work includes establishing a new robotic prostatectomy program at a tertiary Veterans Affairs medical center, showcasing his commitment to expanding access to advanced surgical care. Additionally, he has reported on novel combined robotic procedures, such as nephroureterectomy with cystoprostatectomy, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable with robotic platforms. Through these contributions, Dr. Guruli has helped define the modern landscape of robotic urologic surgery, improving patient recovery and surgical precision.
