About

Britt Conroy is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of robotic surgery, operative efficiency, and patient outcomes, particularly in urologic oncology. Her most cited study, “Robotic fatigue?” – The impact of case order on positive surgical margins in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (2020), investigates how the sequence of surgical cases influences clinical results. This work challenges assumptions about surgeon stamina and procedural consistency, suggesting that case order may affect the risk of positive surgical margins—a critical factor in prostate cancer treatment. By examining the subtle but consequential effects of operative scheduling, Conroy contributes to a growing body of evidence aimed at optimizing surgical workflows and improving oncologic outcomes. Her research is especially relevant for clinicians and hospital administrators seeking to reduce variability in surgical quality. With 4 citations, this paper has sparked important conversations about human factors in robotic surgery. Conroy’s work underscores the need for data-driven approaches to surgical planning, highlighting how seemingly mundane logistical decisions can have profound implications for patient care.
