About
Dr. Nicolas Branger is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted oncologic surgery, with a particular focus on kidney and bladder cancers. His work centers on refining minimally invasive techniques—specifically robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and radical cystectomy—to improve both oncological and functional outcomes for patients. Dr. Branger has made major contributions to understanding the clinical significance of positive surgical margins after RAPN, as demonstrated in the landmark MARGINS study (UroCCR no 96), which has already garnered 14 citations. He has also advanced nephron-sparing strategies for elderly patients, comparing RAPN with percutaneous ablation in those over 75, and developed a simplified nephrometry scoring system (SPARE) to better predict renal function outcomes. His work on sexual-sparing techniques in female radical cystectomy and post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for germ cell tumors showcases his commitment to preserving quality of life. With multiple prospective, multi-institutional studies (including the NEPRAH and SAFE cohorts) and over 80 cumulative citations, Dr. Branger is shaping the future of evidence-based, patient-centered robotic urologic oncology.
