About
Ekaterina Laukhtina is a leading urologic oncology researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, particularly through the lens of robotic and minimally invasive techniques. Her major contributions include landmark meta-analyses and multicenter studies that have reshaped perioperative care, such as clarifying the impact of the steep Trendelenburg position on postoperative complications (32 citations) and comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (30 citations). She has also pioneered the concept of a "tetrafecta" for reporting surgical quality in nephroureterectomy, a notable achievement that standardizes outcome assessment. Her work on intracorporeal versus extracorporeal urinary diversion in robot-assisted cystectomy (29 citations) and the learning curve for this complex procedure (22 citations) provides essential guidance for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. With over 150 cumulative citations, Laukhtina’s research directly informs evidence-based practice, from lymph node dissection extent to drain and catheter management, making her a vital voice in advancing urologic surgical quality and patient safety.
