About
Andrew C. Peterson is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on surgical simulation, robotic task performance, and post-prostatectomy outcomes, with a particular focus on health equity. He made a foundational contribution to the field of surgical education by leading the initial validation of the ProMIS surgical simulator as an objective measure of robotic task performance (2011, 19 citations), providing a critical tool for assessing and improving surgeon proficiency. In a highly cited study on post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (2015, 18 citations), Peterson conducted a landmark retrospective analysis revealing significant racial disparities in the utilization of surgical procedures for incontinence, demonstrating that minority patients were less likely to receive corrective interventions. This work has been instrumental in highlighting inequities in urologic care and driving efforts toward more equitable treatment protocols. Through these contributions, Peterson has advanced both the technical assessment of robotic surgery and the understanding of disparities in surgical outcomes, establishing himself as a key voice in improving the quality and fairness of urologic care.
