About
Dr. Alexandra C. Maschino is a leading urologic researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of surgical practice patterns and outcomes in urologic oncology. Her research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic and laparoscopic approaches for prostate and kidney cancers. Dr. Maschino’s landmark study, “Contemporary Open and Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Practice Patterns Among Urologists in the United States,” has garnered 278 citations and remains a cornerstone reference for understanding the rapid adoption of robotic surgery in the United States. This work, based on American Board of Urology case logs, provided critical insights into how surgical preferences evolved during a transformative period in urology. She further advanced the field with her comparative analysis of retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal minimally invasive partial nephrectomy, adjusting for tumor complexity—a study cited 44 times that helped refine surgical decision-making for kidney cancer. Dr. Maschino’s contributions have been instrumental in guiding evidence-based surgical practice, offering urologists and trainees a clearer framework for optimizing patient outcomes through rigorous, real-world data analysis.
