About
Dr. Carme Mir is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney and prostate cancers. Her major contributions focus on optimizing outcomes in complex patient populations, particularly through the use of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. In her highly cited 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis (28 citations), Dr. Mir demonstrated that minimally invasive approaches are safe and effective even for large kidney tumors exceeding 4 cm, challenging previous surgical limitations. Her influential work within the RESURGE collaborative international database (7 citations) specifically addressed outcomes in very elderly patients, revealing that robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) significantly reduces perioperative morbidity compared to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), with an odds ratio of 0.33. Notably, her research showed excellent 5-year cancer control rates in this vulnerable population, with only 4% recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. Most recently, Dr. Mir has investigated the impact of internal iliac artery clamping during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, further refining surgical techniques to minimize blood loss while preserving functional outcomes and cancer control. Her work consistently bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care, establishing benchmarks for safety and efficacy in urologic oncology.
