About

Tomasz Borkowski is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the landscape of robotic prostate surgery. His primary research focus lies in the development and refinement of minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular emphasis on the extraperitoneal approach using the da Vinci robotic system. Borkowski’s major contribution is his demonstration of the feasibility and safety of this novel technique, which avoids entering the peritoneal cavity, thereby reducing potential complications and speeding patient recovery. His seminal 2003 paper, “Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: Description of the Extraperitoneal Approach Using the da Vinci Robotic System,” has garnered 120 citations, underscoring its lasting influence on the field. This work, along with his subsequent study on the same topic, established a new paradigm for robotic prostatectomy, offering a less invasive alternative that has been widely adopted. Borkowski’s innovative approach has not only advanced surgical practice but also improved outcomes for countless patients, cementing his legacy as a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
