About
Thomas Stonier is a leading urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions center on refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly through critical appraisals of the Retzius-sparing approach (RS-RARP), which preserves anatomical structures to improve functional outcomes. Stonier’s work on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy after focal therapy, cited 78 times, provides crucial insights into oncological and functional outcomes, identifying predictors of recurrence that guide salvage treatment decisions. In renal surgery, he has systematically compared laparoscopic and robotic nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial tumors, challenging the standard of care, and conducted meta-analyses on unclamping techniques in partial nephrectomy to optimize renal function preservation. His research, with over 150 cumulative citations, has influenced surgical protocols and patient selection. Stonier’s notable achievements include leading the Lister cohort study and producing evidence that balances oncological control with quality of life, making him a respected voice in the evolution of robotic urologic oncology.
