About
Leonardo Oliveira Reis is a Brazilian urological surgeon and researcher whose work spans minimally invasive surgery, surgical technology, and evidence-based methodology in urology. He has made pioneering contributions to the advancement of laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques, most notably his early development of a touchless gesture-based user interface for interactive image visualization during urological surgery — a groundbreaking innovation that has garnered over 113 citations and signaled his commitment to integrating technology into the operating room. Reis also introduced single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy, expanding the frontier of minimally invasive oncological surgery. A hallmark of his scholarly identity is the development and rigorous application of the Reverse Systematic Review (RSR) methodology, which he has deployed across multiple high-impact studies comparing open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy across more than 1.35 million surgeries spanning two decades. These analyses have yielded critical insights into surgical complications, urinary continence, oncological outcomes, and erectile function — earning dozens of citations and reshaping how the field evaluates comparative surgical evidence. His body of work reflects a rare synthesis of clinical innovation, surgical expertise, and methodological rigor that continues to meaningfully inform urological practice worldwide.
