About
Kate Alexander is a leading researcher in the environmental and economic sustainability of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), with a particular focus on urologic oncology. Her work critically examines the trade-offs of RAS adoption, quantifying its environmental impact through waste audits and analyzing the minimum caseloads required for cost-effectiveness. She has also made significant contributions to patient-centered outcomes, studying functional, surgical, and oncological results in elderly patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), as well as the influence of preoperative mental health on surgical success. Her prospective work on patient decision regret following RARP provides actionable insights for shared decision-making. With over 20 citations across her most-cited papers, Alexander’s research bridges clinical practice, health economics, and environmental sustainability, offering a holistic view of modern surgery. Her studies on the sensitivity of multiparametric MRI and PSMA PET/CT for predicting seminal vesicle invasion further underscore her expertise in precision diagnostics. Alexander’s work is essential for surgeons, policymakers, and patients navigating the evolving landscape of robotic surgery.
