About

Matthew Bultitude is a distinguished urological surgeon whose research centers on the evolution of minimally invasive techniques, particularly in robotic and laparoscopic surgery, and the global landscape of endourology. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of patient perspectives on technological adoption and the professional demographics of the field. Notably, his 2008 study, "Patient Perception of Robotic Urology" (9 citations), was a pioneering exploration of how patients view robotic-assisted procedures, providing crucial insights for clinical communication and practice. Bultitude also made a landmark contribution to the specialty through his leadership in the "Endourological Society Inaugural Census Report" (2022, 5 citations), which for the first time systematically captured the composition, practices, and needs of over 1,300 society members worldwide. This census has become a foundational resource for understanding the global urology workforce. Additionally, his critical analysis in "Simple Prostatectomy: A Step Too Far for Laparoscopy?" (2014, 5 citations) helped define the appropriate scope of laparoscopic approaches. Through these works, Bultitude has shaped both clinical decision-making and the strategic direction of urological societies.
