About
Dr. Q. Franquet is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing nephron-sparing surgical techniques, particularly for renal cell carcinoma. Their major contribution lies in refining partial nephrectomy to minimize renal ischemia and preserve kidney function. In their landmark 2018 prospective matched-pair analysis, Franquet demonstrated that super-selective robot-assisted partial nephrectomy using near-infrared fluorescence—clamping only tumor-specific segmental arteries—offers superior functional outcomes compared to the standard early-unclamping approach. This work, cited 25 times, has helped shift clinical practice toward more precise, ischemia-free surgery. Beyond this, Franquet’s research integrates cutting-edge intraoperative imaging and robotic platforms to reduce hemorrhagic risk while maximizing renal parenchymal preservation. Their achievements have been recognized through invitations to present at major urology congresses and contributions to guidelines on minimally invasive kidney surgery. For students and researchers, Franquet exemplifies how translational innovation—combining fluorescence guidance with super-selective clamping—can directly improve patient outcomes, offering a compelling model for future work in organ-sparing oncology.
