About
Laura Geldmaker is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes and operating room efficiency in robot-assisted urologic procedures. Her research centers on three key areas: improving perioperative workflows, refining surgical techniques to reduce complications, and validating predictive models for renal function. Geldmaker’s most influential study, “Analysis of Operating Room Efficiency During Robot-Assisted Urologic Surgeries Utilizing Fixed (Nonprocedural) Operative Times” (7 citations), prospectively analyzed 635 surgeries to identify bottlenecks and streamline OR processes. She has also made significant contributions to partial nephrectomy safety, demonstrating how inner layer renorrhaphy suture technique impacts renal artery pseudoaneurysm formation, and evaluating resident involvement in tumor resection without compromising outcomes. Her work on validating a new baseline renal function predictive model (NB-GFR) in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy cohorts offers a practical tool for preoperative planning. Additionally, Geldmaker has advanced surgical innovation through case reports on robotic transvesical bladder leiomyoma excision, showcasing minimally invasive approaches. With cumulative citations across her publications, her research directly informs clinical practice in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, making her a valuable voice in the field.
