About
Dr. Michael Perrotti is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has shaped modern approaches to robotic prostatectomy and medical-legal practice in urology. His most-cited work, a 2007 study comparing bidirectional-barbed sutured knotless running anastomosis to the classic Van Velthoven technique, garnered 87 citations and directly addressed the explosive growth of robotic prostatectomy in the United States. By refining the vesicourethral anastomosis—a critical, technically demanding step—Dr. Perrotti helped improve surgical efficiency and outcomes during a period of exponential case volume increase. His 2006 analysis of 469 consecutive closed malpractice cases with indemnity payment, cited 54 times, provided crucial insight into the factors driving a 57% rise in urologists’ malpractice premiums. This work illuminated systemic vulnerabilities and informed risk-reduction strategies for the field. Additionally, his 2005 review of robotic prostatectomy outcomes contributed to the evidence base supporting the procedure’s adoption. Dr. Perrotti’s dual focus on surgical innovation and professional liability has made him a key voice in advancing both the technical and ethical practice of urology.
