About
Dr. Jane T. Kurtzman is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the outcomes and disparities in minimally invasive urologic surgery, particularly for benign disease. Her major contributions include the first population-based analysis of robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR), a study that revealed significant disparities in patient selection based on hospital ownership, geographic region, age, comorbidities, and insurance status. This work, published in 2021, is foundational for understanding access to advanced urologic care. Additionally, Dr. Kurtzman has investigated complications following surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, specifically lower urinary tract stenosis, providing critical data on postoperative outcomes. While her most-cited papers have accumulated 7 and 2 citations respectively, their impact lies in pioneering research on understudied procedures and highlighting systemic inequities in surgical care. Dr. Kurtzman’s work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians interested in health services research, robotic surgery outcomes, and the intersection of surgical innovation with healthcare disparities.
