About
Dr. Alexander Small is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for renal and prostate surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. His most influential work, with 57 citations, documents the learning curve for experienced laparoscopic surgeons transitioning to robotic partial nephrectomy for small renal masses—a study that has guided countless surgeons in adopting this complex technology. Dr. Small has also been at the forefront of single-port robotic surgery, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in partial nephrectomy. Beyond technique, he has contributed to patient safety with a novel laparoscopic needle-retrieval device (23 citations) and explored magnetic-assisted surgical systems to reduce port requirements. His statewide analysis of robotic versus open simple prostatectomy (12 citations) provides valuable outcomes data on early adoption. With over 145 citations across his key works, Dr. Small’s contributions are shaping the future of urologic surgery, making procedures less invasive while maintaining oncologic efficacy.
