About

Sean P. Stroup is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic urologic surgery. His research spans laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, oncologic outcomes, and the safe integration of surgical innovations into clinical practice. Stroup's most cited work, a 2011 worldwide multi-institutional analysis of laparoendoscopic single-site urologic surgery across 1,076 cases (277 citations), helped establish a global evidence base for this emerging technique. His investigations into robotic partial nephrectomy—including selective renal clamping strategies, retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal approaches, and RENAL nephrometry scoring—have informed surgical decision-making and improved patient outcomes in kidney cancer care. His 2014 study on the diffusion of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy raised important patient safety concerns, demonstrating that surgical innovations often spread without coordinated systems to ensure safe clinical integration. Stroup has also contributed meaningfully to testicular cancer surgery through pioneering work on robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and has explored frontier technologies including telementoring and fluorescence sentinel lymph node mapping. With over 700 cumulative citations across his most impactful publications, his career reflects a sustained commitment to refining surgical technique, improving oncologic outcomes, and advancing the responsible adoption of innovation in urology.
