About
Patrick Lewicki is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques in urologic oncology, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for bladder, prostate, and kidney cancer patients. His major contributions include detailed analyses of recurrence patterns after robot-assisted radical cystectomy, where he identified predictors of atypical metastases such as peritoneal carcinomatosis—work that has informed surgical surveillance strategies and garnered 47 citations. He has also pioneered the study of clipless robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its impact on perioperative outcomes, and investigated opioid-sparing approaches in prostate cancer surgery, reflecting a commitment to reducing postoperative morbidity. Beyond individual procedures, Lewicki has examined the economics and adoption patterns of robotic versus laparoscopic nephrectomy, as well as the use and costs of local hemostatic agents in major urologic surgery. His research on surgical approach and margin status in partial nephrectomy for large renal masses has clarified that approach does not compromise oncologic control. With over 90 total citations and a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, Lewicki is shaping evidence-based practice in robotic urologic surgery.
