About

Paul T. Gellhaus is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing robotic surgery for complex urologic and gynecologic conditions. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of robot-assisted techniques in challenging clinical scenarios. Notably, his multi-institutional study on robotic management of genitourinary injuries from obstetric and gynecologic operations (49 citations) established a standardized approach for repairing ureteral and bladder injuries, significantly impacting surgical practice. He also pioneered the evaluation of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients with prior holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (32 citations), addressing a previously understudied population. More recently, Gellhaus has explored robotic partial versus radical nephrectomy for clinical T3a tumors, and innovative techniques such as immediate gemcitabine bladder instillation during nephroureterectomy and retroperitoneal approaches in morbidly obese patients. His work is characterized by multi-institutional collaboration and a focus on expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic oncology.
