About

Dr. Diana Finkelstein is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the adoption and outcomes of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, particularly within the public health systems of Latin America. Her most-cited study, "Robotic surgery in public hospitals of Latin-America: a castle of sand?" (2018, 27 citations), critically examines the feasibility and sustainability of high-cost robotic technologies in resource-constrained settings, challenging the field to balance innovation with equitable access. This work has become a cornerstone for discussions on surgical health policy in the region. Dr. Finkelstein also contributed to the American Confederation of Urology (CAU) experience in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (2016, 8 citations), providing valuable multi-institutional data on nephron-sparing techniques. Her research bridges the gap between cutting-edge surgical technology and the realities of public healthcare, making her a vital voice in global urology. Through her rigorous analysis, Dr. Finkelstein has helped shape a more pragmatic and socially conscious approach to surgical innovation.
