About
Todd M. Webster is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in the treatment of prostate cancer. His key research areas focus on comparing the outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with traditional open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). Webster’s most influential contributions include landmark studies demonstrating that RALP results in significantly less intraoperative blood loss and reduced transfusion requirements compared to open surgery—findings that have been cited over 180 times. He also led prospective assessments showing that patients undergoing robotic-assisted procedures experience substantially less postoperative pain, a critical advancement that has helped shift clinical practice toward minimally invasive techniques. His work, often conducted in collaboration with colleagues like S. Duke Herrell, has been presented at major urology conferences and published in the Journal of Urology. With cumulative citations exceeding 370, Webster’s research has provided the evidence base that established robotic prostatectomy as a safer, less painful alternative to open surgery, directly improving recovery and quality of life for thousands of prostate cancer patients worldwide.
