About
Dr. Marc A. Bjurlin is a leading urologic oncologist and surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery for complex urologic cancers. He is internationally recognized for pioneering the integration of near-infrared fluorescence imaging and indocyanine green (ICG) into robotic partial nephrectomy, a technique that enhances real-time visualization of tumor margins and renal vasculature. His landmark work, cited over 114 times, demonstrated how this approach can selectively clamp arteries to preserve kidney function during surgery. Dr. Bjurlin has also driven innovation in three-dimensional printing and augmented reality to improve surgical precision, as reflected in his highly cited 2018 study (79 citations). Beyond kidney surgery, he has applied fluorescence lymphangiography to robotic groin dissection for penile cancer and reported outcomes from one of the largest series of robotic upper urinary tract reconstructions (250 patients). His multi-institutional research on robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer and analyses of unplanned hospital readmissions after major urologic surgery have shaped perioperative care standards. With numerous papers accumulating hundreds of citations, Dr. Bjurlin’s work consistently bridges cutting-edge technology and clinical outcomes, making him a transformative figure in urologic oncology.
