About

Yaniv Shilo is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures for complex urological conditions. His primary research areas include robotic ureteral reconstruction, prostate cancer detection, and innovative surgical positioning methods. Shilo’s major contribution is the development and refinement of the side-docking position for robotic-assisted distal ureteral reconstruction, a technique that improves bladder access for stent placement and enhances surgical efficiency. His seminal paper on this approach, published in 2015, has garnered 20 citations, underscoring its impact on urologic practice. Additionally, Shilo has explored the use of radio-frequency near-field spectroscopy for prostate cancer detection in ex vivo specimens, contributing to early diagnostic innovations. His work bridges surgical technique and technology, offering practical solutions that improve patient outcomes and expand the capabilities of robotic surgery. With a focus on reproducibility and clinical applicability, Shilo’s research continues to influence the field of urology, making him a notable figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted urologic care.
