About
Shane M. Pearce is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures, for the treatment of urologic cancers and congenital conditions. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, oncologic effectiveness, and perioperative benefits of robotic approaches for complex surgeries. Pearce’s most cited work, a 2016 study on primary robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for testicular cancer (115 citations), helped establish this minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. He has also made significant contributions to prostate cancer care, comparing robotic and open prostatectomy outcomes (59 citations) and analyzing risk factors for rectal injury during radical prostatectomy (21 citations). Beyond oncology, Pearce has advanced pediatric urology with multi-institutional studies on robotic-assisted Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (59 citations). His research on national trends in simple prostatectomy (98 citations) and the impact of perioperative aspirin on bleeding complications (10 citations) further underscores his commitment to optimizing surgical safety and outcomes. With over 450 cumulative citations across his top works, Pearce is recognized as a leader in robotic urologic surgery, shaping evidence-based practices that improve patient recovery and long-term results.
