About
Marnique Basto is a leading urological researcher whose work has significantly advanced the surgical management of prostate and kidney cancers, particularly within the Australian public health system. Her primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness, health economics, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Basto’s most impactful study (83 citations) provides a critical patterns-of-care and health economic analysis, demonstrating the viability of incorporating costly RARP technology into public hospital case-mix funding. She has also authored landmark single-surgeon series comparing RARP to laparoscopic approaches (29 citations) and produced pivotal work on early urinary continence recovery in older men (22 citations), challenging age-based treatment biases. Beyond clinical outcomes, Basto contributed to the academic dissemination of urological research, co-authoring a paper on the BJUI journal’s social media strategy (17 citations). Her early experience with robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) further showcases her role in pioneering minimally invasive techniques in Australia. With a portfolio that blends rigorous data analysis, economic modeling, and patient-centered outcomes, Basto’s research has directly informed surgical practice and health policy, making her a key voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotic surgery.
