About
Sarah Duncan is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping minimally invasive kidney surgery. Her primary research areas center on single-port robotic surgery, retroperitoneal approaches, and comparative effectiveness in urologic oncology. Dr. Duncan’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of single-port robotic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy via low anterior access—a technique that reduces surgical trauma and improves recovery compared to traditional multiport transperitoneal approaches. Her landmark study, published in 2025 as part of the Single Port Advanced Research Consortium (SPARC), provides a propensity-matched comparative analysis showing equivalent oncologic outcomes with enhanced perioperative benefits. This work has already garnered early citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. Dr. Duncan’s leadership within SPARC underscores her role as a key figure advancing the next generation of robotic surgery. Her research not only pushes technical boundaries but also offers patients less invasive options for kidney cancer treatment, making her a rising voice in surgical innovation.
