K. Clint Cary

About

K. Clint Cary is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients with genitourinary cancers, particularly prostate and bladder cancer. His work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery, with his most-cited study (35 citations) analyzing national trends in robotic-assisted radical cystectomy using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, demonstrating the growing adoption of minimally invasive approaches for bladder cancer treatment. Cary also developed an innovative autologous retro-pubic urethral sling technique (24 citations) to enhance continence recovery after robotic prostatectomy, addressing a critical quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer survivors. His research extends to renal cell carcinoma, where he characterized clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma outcomes (7 citations) in a large single-institutional series. Additionally, Cary has investigated oncologic and quality-of-life outcomes following wide resection in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (4 citations). Through these contributions, Cary has helped refine surgical techniques and expand evidence-based practice in urologic oncology, directly impacting patient care and recovery.
