About
Dr. Aaron Lay is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on improving early urinary control and refining the surgical learning curve. His most impactful contribution is the development and prospective evaluation of posterior urethral suspension (PUS), a technique performed during urethrovesical anastomosis that significantly enhances early urinary continence after prostatectomy—a finding detailed in his 2016 study (30 citations). Dr. Lay has also demonstrated the critical role of the bedside assistant in robotic surgery, showing that experienced assistants improve operative outcomes, especially for surgeons early in their learning curve (21 citations). His research underscores that surgical success depends not only on the primary surgeon but also on the entire operative team. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 50, Dr. Lay’s work has influenced both surgical technique and team-based training in urologic oncology. His findings are particularly valuable for trainees and early-career robotic surgeons seeking to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based refinements in prostate cancer surgery.
