About
Caroline Savage is a prominent urologic researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of surgical practice patterns in prostate cancer care. Her primary research focus centers on the comparative effectiveness and adoption trends of robotic versus open radical prostatectomy, a critical area as robotic surgery rapidly transformed the field. Her landmark study, "Contemporary Open and Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Practice Patterns Among Urologists in the United States" (2012), which has garnered 278 citations, provides the definitive analysis of how American urologists have shifted their surgical approach. By meticulously examining case logs submitted for American Board of Urology certification, Savage and her colleagues revealed dramatic trends in the adoption of robotic techniques, offering invaluable data for surgeons, hospitals, and policymakers. This work not only documented a major paradigm shift in urologic oncology but also set the standard for using certification data to study real-world practice patterns. Her contributions are essential reading for any researcher or clinician seeking to understand the modern landscape of prostate cancer surgery and the forces driving technological change in medicine.
