About
Dr. Andrew Thorpe is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on perioperative risk assessment and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. His most cited work, "Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (open, laparoscopic and robotic)" (2014), has garnered 3 citations and addresses a critical gap in preoperative care. Dr. Thorpe’s major contribution lies in championing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) as a functional assessment tool to enhance risk stratification before major urological surgery. By clarifying the indications, contraindications, and methodology of CPET, his research empowers urologists to better identify high-risk patients, potentially reducing postoperative complications. This work bridges the gap between exercise physiology and surgical practice, offering a practical adjunct to traditional risk models. Dr. Thorpe’s efforts underscore a commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care, making his research a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize surgical outcomes through tailored preoperative evaluation.
