About
Jeffrey A. Larson is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving the safety, outcomes, and ethical standards of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for kidney cancer. His major contributions include pioneering the application of surgical safety standards to robotic procedures, most notably through his highly cited 2013 paper outlining five principles of ethics for nonmaleficence (36 citations). Larson has also advanced the understanding of perioperative care in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, identifying both modifiable and nonmodifiable factors that influence hospital length of stay and complication rates. His research comparing expert-reported outcomes to standardized risk calculators (12 citations) has highlighted critical gaps in how surgical complications are documented and reported. Additionally, Larson has explored complex reconstructive techniques, such as transmesenteric robot-assisted pyeloplasty for horseshoe kidneys and robotic ureteroneocystostomy for ureteral duplication. With over 95 total citations across his most-cited works, Larson’s research has directly shaped best practices in robotic urologic surgery, emphasizing patient safety, standardized reporting, and ethical surgical innovation.
