About

Matthew J. Jackson is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern surgical management of prostate cancer. His primary research focus lies in the comparative effectiveness of minimally-invasive surgical techniques, particularly the evolution from open retropubic to laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Jackson’s landmark 2011 critical systematic review, which has garnered over 130 citations, provided the first comprehensive, evidence-based comparison of these three approaches, establishing a rigorous framework for evaluating oncologic control, functional outcomes, and complication rates. This seminal work directly influenced clinical guidelines and helped drive the widespread adoption of robotic surgery by demonstrating its advantages in reducing blood loss and hospital stay. Beyond this, his contributions extend to refining surgical protocols and training standards, making him a pivotal figure in the transition toward precision urologic oncology. For students and researchers, Jackson’s work exemplifies how systematic evidence synthesis can translate technological innovation into tangible improvements in patient care, cementing his legacy as a key architect of modern prostate cancer surgery.
