About
Matthew T. Gettman is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose career has fundamentally shaped the landscape of minimally invasive and robotic urologic surgery. Working at the intersection of surgical innovation and outcomes research, Gettman has made landmark contributions to robot-assisted and laparoscopic techniques, accumulating thousands of citations across a body of work that spans two decades of transformative advances. Among his most influential contributions are early comparative studies of radical prostatectomy techniques, including a 2004 economic analysis (284 citations) and a 2008 matched outcomes comparison (271 citations) that helped establish the clinical and financial framework for adopting robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. His 2002 work on robotic pyeloplasty using the da Vinci system (254 citations) was among the first to demonstrate the platform's surgical viability for reconstructive urology. Gettman further broadened the field's horizons by critically examining emerging frontiers such as natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and single-incision laparoscopy, contributing consensus statements and systematic reviews that guided institutional adoption globally. His 2009 credentialing recommendations (240 citations) reflect a commitment to patient safety alongside innovation. From early robotic pioneers to single-port prostatectomy in 2019, Gettman's career exemplifies sustained, agenda-setting leadership in modern urology.
