About

Randy Fagin is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic surgery. His research centers on minimally invasive techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Fagin’s landmark 2008 study on robotic simple prostatectomy (219 citations) established the robotic approach as a viable, lower-morbidity alternative to open surgery for large prostates, effectively changing the standard of care. He has also made critical contributions to understanding the reliability of robotic systems; his multi-institutional study on equipment malfunction during robotic prostatectomy (84 citations) remains a key reference for surgical safety. Fagin’s innovative “maximal urethral length preservation” technique (62 citations) has significantly improved early continence rates after prostate cancer surgery, directly enhancing patients’ quality of life. Additionally, his work on single-site robotic cholecystectomy (68 citations) provides essential cost and efficiency data for adopting new surgical platforms. Through these contributions, Fagin has not only advanced surgical technique but also provided the evidence base that guides safe, effective, and patient-centered robotic surgery.
