About

Dr. Scott Pew is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, particularly through the study of robotic-assisted techniques. His most cited paper, "Predictors of Incisional Hernia after Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy" (2015, 22 citations), represents a key contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Pew and his colleagues investigated the long-term incidence and predictors of incisional hernia in 577 patients who underwent robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) between 2003 and 2012. By surveying patients on hernia type, location, and repair, they found an 8.3% hernia rate, providing critical data for surgeons to counsel patients and refine operative approaches. This work highlights Dr. Pew’s commitment to evidence-based practice and patient-centered outcomes, addressing a common but understudied complication. His research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world patient experiences, offering valuable insights for urologists and trainees alike. With a focus on long-term follow-up and practical clinical implications, Dr. Pew’s contributions help advance the safety and efficacy of robotic prostate surgery.
