About
Gerasimos Fragkoulis is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His key contributions focus on optimizing perioperative care and identifying predictors of disease recurrence. In a landmark 2023 study, Fragkoulis assessed the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after RARP, demonstrating that routine outpatient surgery is achievable without compromising patient outcomes—a finding with significant implications for reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs. His 2024 investigation into predictors of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after RARP, based on a single-center retrospective analysis, further refines risk stratification by evaluating clinical and pathological factors that influence long-term cancer control. Though early in his career, Fragkoulis’s work has already garnered attention, with his same-day discharge paper accumulating 9 citations shortly after publication. By challenging traditional postoperative protocols and deepening understanding of recurrence patterns, he is helping to shape more efficient, patient-centered surgical pathways in urologic oncology. His research offers practical insights for surgeons seeking to balance safety, recovery speed, and oncologic vigilance.
