About
Dr. Catriona Duncan is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in complex patient populations. Her most cited work, "Robotic prostatectomy following previous major abdominal surgeries resulting from gunshot injury" (2019, 3 citations), addresses a critical gap in surgical oncology by demonstrating that RARP can be safely performed even in patients with extensive prior abdominal trauma—a group traditionally considered high-risk due to adhesions and potential bowel injury. This contribution challenges conventional contraindications and expands surgical options for survivors of penetrating abdominal injuries. While her citation count reflects the niche nature of this work, its clinical significance lies in providing evidence-based guidance for urologists navigating challenging operative scenarios. Dr. Duncan’s research underscores her commitment to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, improving outcomes for patients with complex surgical histories, and advancing the field of robotic urology through meticulous case-based analysis.
