About

Paul Kozlowski is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has centered on robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate cancer and pelvic floor reconstruction. His most influential contributions focus on the safety and outcomes of robotic procedures. His landmark 2007 study on the mechanical failure rate of the da Vinci robotic system (69 citations) provided critical data for preoperative patient counseling, establishing a benchmark for device reliability. He also led a randomized trial on peri-operative belladonna and opium suppositories for pain management after robotic prostatectomy (17 citations), addressing a key patient concern. Beyond prostate cancer, Kozlowski has advanced robotic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, examining outcomes in patients with equivocal renal scans and those presenting with pain versus non-pain symptoms. His work on robotic and laparoscopic female pelvic floor reconstruction (16 citations) further demonstrates his breadth in minimally invasive urology. With a career spanning over a decade, Kozlowski’s research has directly informed surgical practice, patient counseling, and postoperative care, making him a notable figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
