About

Dr. Milton Berger is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping urological oncology in Latin America. His research centers on the application and refinement of robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer and renal masses, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes in resource-limited settings. Dr. Berger’s most impactful work, “Robotic surgery in public hospitals of Latin-America: a castle of sand?” (27 citations), critically examines the sustainability and implementation of high-cost robotic programs, sparking essential debate on healthcare equity. He has also contributed landmark case studies, including the first reported robotic excision of a retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma (8 citations). His systematic approach to improving surgical quality is evident in studies evaluating nerve-sparing techniques and the “trifecta” and “pentafecta” outcomes of robotic radical prostatectomy—composite measures of cancer control, continence, and potency. Demonstrating a commitment to innovation and patient recovery, Dr. Berger has pioneered protocols for early Foley catheter removal after prostatectomy. Through his work at a university hospital, he is systematically documenting the learning curve and functional outcomes of robotic surgery, providing a vital roadmap for surgeons adopting these complex techniques. His research bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical, patient-centered care in urology.
