About
Andrea Tay is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer, with a particular focus on intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD). Her major contributions include pioneering the first learning curve analysis for iRARC through the EAU Robotic Urology Section, demonstrating that proficiency requires approximately 30 cases—a finding that has shaped surgical training protocols worldwide. Tay has also led landmark cost-analysis studies comparing RARC across European healthcare systems, revealing significant economic disparities that inform policy decisions. Her research on the Comprehensive Complication Index has redefined how postoperative morbidity is measured in cystectomy patients, capturing the cumulative burden of multiple complications more accurately than traditional systems. With over 80 citations across her key publications, Tay’s work has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based benchmarks for robotic cystectomy. Notably, she has also contributed to rare surgical innovations, including a robotic bladder diverticulectomy for high-grade transitional cell carcinoma and a novel sacrocolpopexy technique using an autologous graft for neovaginal prolapse in a transgender woman, showcasing her versatility and commitment to expanding robotic applications in complex urologic cases.
