About
Dr. Clara Steiner is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced imaging technology and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on improving outcomes in kidney cancer treatment. Her major contributions lie in the development and clinical validation of virtual interactive 3D modeling for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. As the lead investigator of the landmark, multicenter, randomized 3DPN trial, she is systematically comparing the use of interactive 3D models against standard CT imaging to enhance surgical precision, reduce complications, and preserve renal function. Her two most-cited papers—both published in 2025 and garnering 3 citations each—detail the trial’s rigorous clinical protocol and the practical application of these models in the operating room. This work represents a significant step toward personalized surgical planning, potentially setting a new standard of care. Dr. Steiner’s research is already influencing how surgeons visualize complex renal anatomy, and her ongoing trial promises to provide high-level evidence that could transform nephron-sparing surgery for patients worldwide.
