About

Aya Bsatee is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work is redefining postoperative care in robotic prostatectomy. Her research centers on enhancing surgical efficiency, improving patient recovery, and reducing healthcare costs. Bsatee’s most significant contribution is championing same-day discharge after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, a paradigm shift from the traditional 24- to 48-hour hospital stay. Her landmark 2019 study, cited 95 times, demonstrated the safety, success, and cost-effectiveness of this approach, while a subsequent 2020 paper (85 citations) confirmed its feasibility with single-port robotic surgery. Beyond discharge protocols, Bsatee has innovated intraoperative techniques, such as a surgeon-controlled suction catheter to reduce dependence on bedside assistants (2021, 11 citations), and investigated anatomical challenges like enlarged median lobes to optimize urinary function outcomes. With a growing body of work that directly impacts clinical practice, Bsatee is a leading voice in making robotic surgery more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered.
