About
Orlando Burkhardt is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancer, as well as optimizing treatment for benign prostatic obstruction. His most impactful contribution is a landmark study on robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder, reporting 1-year functional outcomes that have garnered 23 citations—a key reference for surgeons performing this complex procedure. Burkhardt has also investigated seminal vesicle-sparing robotic radical prostatectomy, examining its effect on ultrasensitive PSA levels to refine oncologic control while preserving nerve function. His meta-synthesis of guidelines for surgical treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic obstruction, published in 2025, provides a timely framework for navigating the expanding array of minimally invasive therapies. Additionally, his work demonstrates that obese patients undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy experience no impaired operative outcomes, supporting equitable surgical access. Through these contributions, Burkhardt bridges technical innovation with evidence-based practice, shaping modern urologic oncology and functional outcomes.
