About

X. Matillon is a French urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urological conditions, particularly in kidney transplant patients and those with rare vascular disorders. His most cited work, a 2020 French multicentre study on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant recipients (15 citations), established crucial perioperative safety data for this challenging patient population. Matillon also contributed to comparative oncology research, evaluating focal therapy with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) against robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer, providing early functional and oncological outcomes. His most recent notable achievement is pioneering robotic-assisted kidney autotransplantation for nutcracker syndrome (2025), a rare condition causing severe flank pain in young patients. This work describes a novel surgical technique that reduces morbidity compared to traditional approaches, demonstrating Matillon’s commitment to expanding robotic surgery applications. With contributions spanning transplant urology, prostate cancer treatment, and innovative vascular surgery, Matillon’s research is characterized by its focus on improving outcomes through technological innovation, evidenced by his growing citation impact in specialized surgical fields.
