About

Matthew C. Roberts is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in refining and standardizing the open retropubic approach, ensuring that this technically demanding procedure remains a safe, effective, and widely accessible treatment for localized prostate cancer, even as robotic techniques gain popularity. His most-cited paper, "Open retropubic radical prostatectomy" (2020, 14 citations), serves as a definitive, modern guide to the procedure, detailing critical steps for achieving excellent oncologic control while preserving urinary continence and erectile function. This work is notable for its clear, step-by-step exposition of surgical technique, making it an invaluable resource for trainees and practicing surgeons alike. By systematically documenting best practices, Roberts has helped to maintain high standards of care and ensure that patients worldwide continue to benefit from this established, cost-effective surgical option.
