About
Dr. Alice Semerjian is a urologic surgeon and researcher dedicated to refining surgical techniques and improving perioperative outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, particularly prostate and kidney cancer. Her work centers on optimizing the surgical pathway for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a focus on minimizing hospital stays and enhancing recovery. Her most impactful work, "Extraperitoneal Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Indications, Technique and Outcomes" (32 citations), established a foundational understanding of a key surgical approach. She has further advanced the field through collaborative quality improvement research within the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC). Her 2022 study on pelvic lymph node dissection for intermediate-risk prostate cancer (9 citations) provided critical data on the utility of the procedure, while her 2024 work on same-day discharge after RARP (4 citations) is pioneering efforts to safely reduce length of stay. Dr. Semerjian’s research also extends to complex kidney surgery, including techniques for robotic partial nephrectomy and the safety of perioperative heparin. Her cumulative work, marked by a focus on evidence-based practice and collaborative data analysis, is shaping a future of safer, more efficient, and patient-centered urologic cancer care.
