About
Xavier Cathelineau is a pioneering urological surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques, particularly in the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. Working at the forefront of urological oncology, he has made landmark contributions to the development and standardisation of robotic-assisted surgery across Europe and internationally. His most cited work spans critical areas including comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, surgical margin outcomes across 22,393 patients from multiple institutions, and early explorations of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy techniques — the latter accumulating 176 citations since 2003. His 2014 study on perioperative outcomes of robotic simple prostatectomy (197 citations) and his co-authorship of an internationally endorsed robotic surgery training curriculum (178 citations) reflect both his clinical expertise and his commitment to elevating global surgical education standards. Cathelineau has also championed emerging approaches including single-site laparoscopic surgery and enhanced recovery protocols following radical cystectomy. His body of work, collectively representing well over 1,000 citations, has substantially shaped how urological cancers are managed surgically today, making him an influential figure for surgeons and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of robotic urology.
