About
Mireya Diaz-Insua is a leading researcher in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, whose work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of outcomes in prostate and kidney cancer treatment. Her research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques and improving long-term patient prognoses, particularly through the study of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Diaz-Insua’s major contributions include landmark studies on oncological control, with a multi-institutional analysis of 4,803 patients (44 citations) providing critical data on biochemical recurrence after RARP, and a 15-year follow-up study (8 citations) tracking metastasis and survival rates in PSA-screened men. She has also pioneered investigations into surgical complications, such as ureteral injuries during robotic prostatectomy (31 citations), and functional outcomes, including a randomized trial comparing urethrovesical anastomosis techniques (51 citations). Her work extends to operative innovation, examining clamping strategies in robotic partial nephrectomy for complex tumors (20 citations), and to team dynamics, with a prospective trial on wireless audio systems to improve communication in the robotic operating room (15 citations). With over 180 total citations across her most-cited papers, Diaz-Insua’s research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to refine robotic surgical practice and enhance patient care.
