About
Sarah Malandra is a leading surgical researcher specializing in robotic-assisted urologic oncology, with a primary focus on radical prostatectomy. Her work centers on the comparative evaluation of emerging robotic surgical platforms against the established da Vinci Xi system, providing critical evidence for clinical decision-making and hospital resource allocation. Through the landmark COMPAR-P trial, she has conducted the first prospective head-to-head comparisons of the Hugo RAS, Versius, and da Vinci systems, meticulously analyzing intraoperative performance, postoperative outcomes, and surgeon satisfaction. Her research, including papers with up to 36 citations, has demonstrated that while newer platforms like Hugo RAS are viable alternatives, they present distinct learning curves and docking challenges. Malandra has also pioneered the application of time-driven activity-based costing within a value-based healthcare framework, enabling managers to make data-driven decisions about robotic platform adoption. Her comprehensive meta-analyses and studies on surgical experience’s impact on continence recovery have further solidified her reputation as a key voice in the evidence-based integration of next-generation surgical robotics.
