About
Dr. Paul E. Andrews is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic oncologic surgery. His primary research areas center on minimally invasive techniques for bladder, prostate, and testicular cancers, with a particular focus on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). As a key contributor to the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium, Dr. Andrews has led landmark studies that define best practices in this complex procedure. His most cited work (238 citations) established the learning curve for RARC, while subsequent papers demonstrated that positive surgical margins and lymph node yields in robotic surgery are comparable to—and can even surpass—traditional open approaches. Dr. Andrews also pioneered robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RA-RPLND) for testicular cancer, reporting the first major case series (110 citations). His innovative work extends to outpatient prostatectomy and selective clamping techniques in partial nephrectomy, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic platforms. With over 800 cumulative citations, Dr. Andrews’ research has provided the evidence base for safer, more effective robotic urologic oncology, directly improving patient outcomes worldwide.
