About
Ofir Maltzman is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of robotic prostate and kidney cancer surgery. His primary research areas include robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), with a focus on optimizing surgical techniques, reducing complications, and improving functional outcomes. Maltzman has made major contributions by demonstrating the feasibility and safety of using the novel Hugo™ RAS system for both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy, providing the first detailed video instructions and operative setup for this platform. His prospective series on intraoperative complications during RS-RARP offers one of the most comprehensive overviews in the field, addressing a historically underreported aspect of urologic surgery. With over 40 citations across his most influential works, Maltzman has also explored critical clinical questions, such as the impact of prostate size and patient age on continence recovery, and the predictors of positive surgical margins. His dual-centre learning curve analysis provides valuable insights for surgeons adopting these advanced techniques. Maltzman’s work is essential reading for any clinician or researcher seeking to understand the cutting edge of robotic urologic oncology.
