About
Ross Krasnow is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for bladder cancer patients, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted cystectomy and urinary diversion. His most notable contribution is the first-ever description of a fully robotic intracorporeal continent cutaneous urinary diversion, published in 2015 and cited 34 times—a landmark paper that demonstrated the feasibility and technique for performing this complex reconstruction entirely within the body using robotic platforms. This work has helped expand the options for patients undergoing bladder removal, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Krasnow’s research sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and oncologic outcomes, aiming to reduce recovery times and complications while maintaining cancer control. His contributions have been recognized in the urologic oncology community, and his early descriptions of novel robotic techniques continue to influence how surgeons approach urinary diversion. For students and researchers, Krasnow’s work exemplifies how careful procedural innovation can translate directly into improved patient care.
