About

Philippe D. Violette is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on perioperative care, with a particular focus on venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in urological cancer surgery. His major contributions lie in defining the procedure-specific risks of thrombosis and bleeding, challenging one-size-fits-all approaches to thromboprophylaxis. His landmark systematic review and meta-analysis (126 citations) provided critical baseline risk estimates for VTE and bleeding in urological cancer surgery, enabling more nuanced, patient-specific clinical decisions. Violette further advanced this field through a narrative review on prostate cancer surgery (23 citations) and an international survey characterizing global practice variation in thromboprophylaxis use (15 citations). Beyond thrombosis research, he has investigated predictive factors for functional outcomes following robotic radical prostatectomy, including return of erectile function and prolonged operative time. His work bridges evidence synthesis and clinical practice, directly informing guidelines and improving surgical safety. With a career dedicated to optimizing perioperative outcomes, Violette’s research has been instrumental in moving urological surgery toward individualized, risk-stratified care.
