About
Dr. Goran Rac is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques for kidney and bladder cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures and nephron-sparing surgery. His major contributions lie in advancing tumor enucleation as a precise alternative to standard partial nephrectomy, demonstrating that this approach can preserve renal function without compromising oncologic outcomes. His most cited paper (22 citations) compares robotic-assisted tumor enucleation to standard margin partial nephrectomy for low and intermediate complexity renal masses, highlighting perioperative and functional benefits. Dr. Rac has also investigated technical variations such as off-clamp versus on-clamp enucleation, sutureless hemostatic bandages versus standard renorrhaphy, and the retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal robotic approach for anterior renal masses. His work extends to bladder cancer, where he has compared robotic versus open radical cystectomy outcomes. Notably, he has explored the feasibility of retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in morbidly obese patients, addressing a challenging clinical population. With a growing body of impactful research, Dr. Rac is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
