About

Amanda M. Macejko is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic-assisted and endoscopic procedures. Her primary research areas include prostate and bladder surgery, with a focus on optimizing anatomical outcomes and patient safety. Macejko’s most cited study, “Impact of Prostate Median Lobe Anatomy on Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy” (2008, 47 citations), provided critical insights into how median lobe morphology influences surgical complexity and outcomes, helping surgeons refine their approach. She also pioneered a novel technique in “Cystoscope- and Robot-Assisted Bladder Diverticulectomy” (2008, 38 citations), where she combined flexible cystoscopy with robotic assistance to improve intraoperative identification of bladder diverticula—a challenging step in minimally invasive repair. Additionally, her work “Is the transition from open to robotic prostatectomy fair to your patients?” (2009, 11 citations) addressed ethical and clinical concerns during the adoption of robotic surgery, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes with two-year follow-up data. Macejko’s contributions have shaped modern urologic practice, bridging anatomical knowledge with technological innovation to enhance surgical precision and patient care.
