About
Samiha M Nasser is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical recovery and outcomes in minimally invasive urologic oncology. Her major contributions center on developing and validating enhanced recovery pathways for robotic nephroureterectomy, a procedure for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Nasser’s landmark study, “Clinical Pathway After Robotic Nephroureterectomy: Omission of Pelvic Drain With Next-day Catheter Removal and Discharge” (2014), demonstrated that a streamlined protocol—eliminating pelvic drains and enabling next-day catheter removal and discharge—can safely reduce hospital stays without compromising patient safety. This work, cited 18 times, has influenced clinical practice by challenging traditional postoperative management and promoting efficiency in robotic surgery. Beyond this, Nasser has contributed to broader discussions on surgical technique, pain management, and quality improvement in urology. Her research is notable for its practical, patient-centered approach, bridging evidence-based medicine with real-world surgical care. For students and researchers, Nasser’s work exemplifies how thoughtful clinical innovation can transform recovery, reduce resource use, and improve the patient experience in high-volume surgical settings.
