About
Dr. Scott Cheney is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive oncology, particularly in the treatment of testicular and bladder cancers. His primary research focuses on the application of robotic surgery for complex genitourinary procedures. Dr. Cheney’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering work on robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RA-RPLND), a technically challenging procedure for managing non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. His seminal 2014 paper detailing the technique and initial outcomes in 18 patients has garnered over 110 citations, establishing a foundational protocol that has helped standardize this approach worldwide. He has further expanded the application of RA-RPLND to rare conditions like malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis. In the realm of bladder cancer, Dr. Cheney has made notable contributions through a decade-long comparative study from the Mayo Clinic, analyzing outcomes between robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy. His work on single-incision robotic cystectomy with hybrid orthotopic neobladder reconstruction showcases his commitment to refining surgical techniques to reduce patient morbidity. Through these efforts, Dr. Cheney has consistently demonstrated how robotic technology can be leveraged to improve surgical precision and patient recovery in challenging oncologic cases.
