About

Dr. Tomer Erlich is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and laparoscopic procedures for prostate and kidney cancers. His most-cited study, "Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: assistant’s seniority has no influence on perioperative course" (2016, 22 citations), provides critical evidence that surgical outcomes are not dependent on the experience level of the surgical assistant, thereby supporting the safe training of junior staff in complex robotic surgeries. More recently, Dr. Erlich has contributed to the field of nephron-sparing surgery with a 2025 study demonstrating that robotic partial nephrectomy is associated with a significantly lower incidence of urine leakage compared to open or laparoscopic approaches. This work offers surgeons and patients a data-driven rationale for choosing robotic techniques to reduce postoperative complications. By systematically evaluating risk factors such as tumor size and surgical approach, Dr. Erlich’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping to optimize patient safety and recovery in urologic oncology.
