About
J. Patrick Selph is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques for complex urinary reconstruction. His major contributions focus on expanding the role of robotic surgery beyond standard procedures, particularly for ureteral stricture disease and reconstruction distal to the ureteropelvic junction. In a landmark clinical series (40 citations), Selph demonstrated the safety and feasibility of robotic ureteral reconstruction in a large cohort, helping to establish robotic approaches as a viable alternative to open surgery for these challenging cases. He also pioneered the use of intracorporeal robotic-assisted laparoscopic appendiceal interposition for ureteral strictures, a novel technique that offers patients a minimally invasive option for preserving renal function. Beyond reconstruction, Selph has contributed to the evidence base on perioperative complications, including deep venous thrombosis following prosthetic surgery for erectile dysfunction and incontinence, and has conducted cost analyses comparing robotic-assisted to open radical cystectomy. His work has been instrumental in validating robotic platforms for complex urologic procedures, improving patient outcomes, and shaping contemporary surgical practice.
