About

Gregory T. MacLennan is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of surgical robotics, operative efficiency, and patient outcomes in prostate cancer care. His most-cited study, “Robotic fatigue? – The impact of case order on positive surgical margins in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy” (2020), examines how the sequence of surgeries in a robotic operating day influences oncologic precision. This work directly addresses a critical question in high-volume surgical centers: whether surgeon fatigue or workflow factors affect the likelihood of positive surgical margins, a key predictor of cancer recurrence. By analyzing case order as a variable, MacLennan contributes to the broader conversation on surgical quality improvement and the human factors in robotic surgery. His research has garnered attention for its practical implications, helping to shape scheduling protocols and ergonomic considerations in robotic-assisted procedures. MacLennan’s contributions are particularly relevant for trainees and practicing urologists seeking to optimize both surgeon performance and patient safety in the rapidly evolving field of minimally invasive oncology.
