About
Lawrence M. Dagrosa is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes and refining the training models for endourology. His work critically examines the intersection of patient demographics and surgical risk, particularly in minimally invasive procedures. Dagrosa’s most cited study, “Is age an independent risk factor for medical complications following minimally invasive radical prostatectomy?” (2016, 11 citations), leverages a robust national dataset (ACS-NSQIP) to challenge assumptions about age as a standalone risk factor, providing evidence-based guidance for patient counseling and surgical planning. This contribution has informed clinical decision-making in prostate cancer surgery, underscoring his commitment to data-driven improvements in patient safety. Additionally, Dagrosa has explored the evolving landscape of endourology fellowship training, as seen in his 2014 paper “Stone Specialist, Cancer Surgeon, or Both?” which addresses the tension between broad-based training and the trend toward subspecialization. By questioning traditional fellowship models, he has sparked important dialogue on how to best prepare surgeons for diverse practice patterns. Through these works, Dagrosa demonstrates a dual dedication to advancing surgical technique and shaping the next generation of urologists, making him a thoughtful voice in the field.
