About

Andrew Tracey is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures, and improving outcomes for elderly and complex patient populations. His key research areas include ureteral reconstruction, partial nephrectomy, and postoperative care optimization. Tracey has made significant contributions through his evidence-based reviews and collaborative international studies, notably his work on robotic-assisted laparoscopic repair of ureteral injuries, which has been cited 39 times and provides a comprehensive framework for managing iatrogenic ureteral trauma. He is a leading member of the REnal SURGery in Elderly (RESURGE) Group, where his analyses of partial nephrectomy outcomes in patients over 75 years old (33 citations) and very elderly populations have helped define "trifecta" success metrics—combining cancer control, renal function preservation, and complication avoidance—in this growing demographic. His systematic review comparing suprapubic versus urethral catheter use after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (14 citations) has influenced postoperative care protocols. With over 95 total citations across his most-cited works, Tracey's research bridges the gap between technological innovation and geriatric urology, establishing evidence-based benchmarks for surgical decision-making in high-risk patients.
