About
Dr. Alexandra Colquhoun is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical quality and outcomes for patients undergoing radical cystectomy, the primary treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Her major contributions lie in defining and standardizing high-quality surgical care through rigorous analysis of national registry data. In her landmark 2021 study, "Defining Factors Associated with High-quality Surgery Following Radical Cystectomy," she analyzed the prospective British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Cystectomy Audit to identify key healthcare and surgical factors that drive superior patient outcomes—work that has garnered 9 citations and is foundational for quality improvement. She further advanced the field by co-authoring "Setting standards for cystectomy using the British Association of Urological Surgeons Complex Operations Reports, 2016–2018," which established comprehensive, evidence-based benchmarks for cystectomy performance across the UK. By transforming large-scale, real-world data into actionable standards, Dr. Colquhoun has directly influenced surgical practice and patient safety. Her research is essential reading for trainees and specialists aiming to elevate the quality of complex urological surgery.
