About

Connor McPartland is a rising surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, health equity, and medical education. His most impactful contributions center on improving surgical outcomes and access through innovation. In a landmark 2021 study analyzing over 150,000 patients in New York State, McPartland demonstrated the comparative perioperative and five-year advantages of robotic and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair over open surgery—a finding that has shaped modern practice. He has also been a leading voice on socioeconomic disparities in surgery, revealing in a 2022 paper that primary robotic hernia repair is not equally utilized across populations, highlighting critical barriers to care. Beyond outcomes, McPartland has pioneered the use of individualized 3D-printed models for robotic partial nephrectomies, showing in a 2022 study that these models significantly enhance trainee and patient education as well as surgical planning. His most recent work introduces a novel robotic transvesical approach to managing vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis. With a growing citation footprint exceeding 70, McPartland is establishing himself as a researcher who not only advances surgical technique but also champions equitable access to cutting-edge care.
