About
Martin Gleave is a leading figure in urologic oncology, whose research has fundamentally shaped the surgical management of prostate and bladder cancers. His work is distinguished by rigorous comparative effectiveness studies that directly inform clinical decision-making. A landmark contribution is his detailed comparison of open versus robotic-assisted prostatectomy, drawn from his extensive experience at the University of British Columbia. This highly cited study (27 citations) provided critical, real-world data on outcomes and costs, helping to guide the adoption of robotic surgery. Gleave has also advanced the field of risk stratification in bladder cancer, notably by validating the ACS NSQIP universal surgical risk calculator for predicting complications after radical cystectomy (19 citations). As a master surgeon and clinical scientist, his research bridges the gap between innovative technology and evidence-based practice, offering clear benchmarks for surgical quality. His work remains essential reading for trainees and practitioners seeking to optimize patient outcomes through data-driven surgical approaches.
