Dr Robert Proust, though overshadowed in history by his more famous brother, the novelist Marcel Proust, was an eminent and innovative French surgeon who achieved recognition largely as a gynaecologist, but also was an accomplished urologist and general surgeon. He was the author of a textbook, The surgery of the female genital tract, that was very successful in his lifetime and ran to six editions. He was always very supportive of his brother's writing, and after Marcel's premature death Robert edited and arranged for publication of the final three volumes of his novel À la recherche du temps perdu, which has been called the greatest novel of the twentieth century.
罗伯特·普鲁斯特博士在历史上虽然被他更著名的小说家哥哥马塞尔·普鲁斯特所掩盖，但他是一位杰出的创新型法国外科医生，主要以妇科医生而闻名，但也是一位出色的泌尿科医生和普通外科医生。他是一本教科书《女性生殖道手术》的作者，该书在他有生之年非常成功，共出版了六版。他一直非常支持他哥哥的写作，在马塞尔过早去世后，罗伯特编辑并安排出版了他的小说《追寻逝去的时光》的最后三卷，这部小说被称为 20 世纪最伟大的小说。
