About
Dr. Gregory T. Chesnut is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes and reducing the burden of treatment for patients with prostate and bladder cancers. His work spans the full spectrum of care, from optimizing perioperative protocols to refining surgical techniques. Dr. Chesnut is a leading voice in combating the opioid crisis, demonstrated by his highly cited 2020 study on standardizing opioid prescriptions after ambulatory oncologic surgery, which showed a significant reduction in overprescription (24 citations). He is also at the forefront of surgical education, having developed a novel expert coaching model to accelerate the learning curve for robotic prostatectomy (13 citations). His contributions to quality of life research include a prospective, multi-institutional study comparing open versus robotic prostatectomy across a racially diverse patient population. Furthermore, Dr. Chesnut has advanced the field of reconstructive urology by detailing the evolution of robotic intracorporeal continent catheterizable pouch creation following cystectomy. Through these efforts, he is actively shaping safer, more effective, and more patient-centered urologic cancer care.
