About
Ugo Pinar is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), sexual dysfunction, and robotic surgery. His most-cited paper, a comprehensive review on ejaculatory disorders in BPH patients (38 citations), challenges the clinical tendency to overlook sexual health when treating lower urinary tract symptoms. Pinar has also made significant contributions to the evidence base for robotic-assisted procedures, publishing comparative studies on robotic versus open cystectomy for neurogenic bladder and robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. His work on functional outcomes after robot-assisted pyeloplasty and simple prostatectomy demonstrates a sustained focus on preserving quality of life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pinar provided crucial data on nosocomial transmission risks and the impact of the pandemic on surgical schedules. With over 120 cumulative citations across his top ten papers, his research consistently addresses the trade-offs between oncological control, renal function, and patient-reported outcomes. Pinar’s output reflects a clinician-scientist dedicated to refining surgical techniques and ensuring that functional and quality-of-life endpoints are not sacrificed in the pursuit of cancer cure.
