About

Andrea Quinn is a leading figure in the integration of 3D printing technology into urological surgery, with a particular focus on robotic partial nephrectomies. Her research centers on the development and application of individualized, patient-specific anatomical models to enhance surgical planning, trainee education, and patient understanding. Quinn’s most-cited work, a 2022 study on the use of these 3D-printed models, has garnered 30 citations and demonstrates a significant impact on improving preoperative outcomes and communication. By translating complex renal anatomy into tangible, manipulable replicas, she has helped reduce operative risks and shorten learning curves for surgical residents. Beyond this flagship paper, Quinn’s contributions extend to refining model accuracy and exploring cost-effective fabrication methods, making advanced surgical preparation more accessible. Her work bridges the gap between engineering and clinical practice, earning recognition for its direct translational value. For students and researchers in surgical innovation, Quinn exemplifies how personalized 3D modeling can revolutionize both training and patient care, setting a new standard for precision in robotic surgery.
