About
Dr. Morgan Pokorny is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms. His major contributions lie in comparative effectiveness and surgical technique for large-volume prostates (greater than 100 ml), where he has helped establish robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) as a safe, effective alternative to traditional laser enucleation. His landmark 2016 study, cited 99 times, provided a rigorous comparative analysis from a high-volume center, demonstrating that RASP offers comparable outcomes to holmium laser enucleation while leveraging robotic precision. Earlier, his 2015 paper (81 citations) detailed the surgical technique and outcomes for robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, becoming a foundational reference for surgeons adopting this approach. Dr. Pokorny has also explored cutting-edge technologies, such as three-dimensional elastic augmented reality for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, pushing the boundaries of surgical visualization. His work has directly shaped clinical decision-making for patients with challenging prostate anatomy, earning him recognition as a key voice in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
