About
Dr. Tracy Marien is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on robotic-assisted kidney surgery, fluorescence imaging, and upper urinary tract reconstruction. Her most influential work, cited 146 times, introduced near-infrared fluorescence imaging to facilitate super-selective arterial clamping during zero-ischemia robotic partial nephrectomy—a technique that minimizes warm ischemia time and preserves postoperative renal function. Building on this, her 2014 study (74 citations) demonstrated that selective arterial clamping with fluorescence imaging effectively maintains kidney function during robotic partial nephrectomy. Dr. Marien also led a landmark study of 250 consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted upper urinary tract reconstruction (51 citations), establishing long-term outcomes for pyeloplasty and related procedures. Her contributions extend to innovative approaches for estimating renal function from CT imaging and kinematic analysis of dexterity in transurethral resection of bladder tumors. With a career dedicated to advancing minimally invasive urologic surgery, Dr. Marien’s work has directly improved surgical precision and patient outcomes, making her a leading figure in the field.
