About
Dr. Abena N. Anyane-Yeboah is a rising leader in urologic surgical outcomes research, with a focused expertise in operating room (OR) efficiency and robotic-assisted surgery. Her work systematically deconstructs the components of surgical time to optimize hospital workflows and patient throughput. In her most cited study, "Analysis of Operating Room Efficiency During Robot-Assisted Urologic Surgeries Utilizing Fixed (Nonprocedural) Operative Times" (2021, 7 citations), she prospectively analyzed 635 consecutive robot-assisted procedures over 24 months, identifying key non-procedural time points that can be streamlined to reduce overall OR turnover. Expanding this framework, her 2022 study compared fixed versus variable time efficiency in open versus robotic-assisted partial nephrectomies, providing granular data that helps surgeons and administrators make evidence-based decisions about surgical approach. Though early in her career, Dr. Anyane-Yeboah’s work is already shaping how urology departments measure and improve efficiency—a critical factor in reducing costs and increasing access to care. Her methodical approach to time-motion analysis positions her as an emerging authority in surgical operations research.
