About
Dr. N. Koutlidis is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in comparing robot-assisted and pure laparoscopic techniques, specifically evaluating their impact on positive surgical margins and functional preservation. In his most cited work (18 citations), he demonstrated that robot-assisted surgery may offer advantages in achieving clear surgical margins during nerve-sparing procedures, a critical factor for oncologic control and postoperative quality of life. Koutlidis has also explored the concept of capsular incision in normal prostatic tissue during robot-assisted surgery, questioning its clinical significance, and has investigated long-term erectile function and partner sexual satisfaction following different surgical approaches. His work, though modest in citation volume, provides valuable comparative data that helps surgeons refine their operative techniques. By systematically analyzing surgical margins, nerve preservation, and patient-reported outcomes, Koutlidis contributes to the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, offering evidence that guides clinical decision-making in the operating room.
