About
Dr. Ryan K. Berglund is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for complex urologic cancers. His major contributions lie in refining minimally invasive techniques for bladder and kidney cancers, particularly through comparative studies of uretero-enteric anastomotic strictures following radical cystectomy. His 2020 paper comparing open, robotic extracorporeal, and robotic intracorporeal approaches (41 citations) has helped guide surgical decision-making to reduce complications. Dr. Berglund has also been instrumental in demonstrating the long-term viability of robotic nephrectomy, with a 2024 study reporting up to 15 years of follow-up data—a landmark for validating oncologic and functional outcomes. Beyond technique, he has championed patient-centered care, co-authoring work on health-related quality-of-life outcomes for men on active surveillance for prostate cancer. His step-by-step descriptions of robotic cystectomy at the Cleveland Clinic have served as training resources for surgeons worldwide. With a career spanning over a decade of influential publications, Dr. Berglund continues to shape the future of urologic oncology by proving that robotic approaches can achieve durable, high-quality results while minimizing patient morbidity.
