About

Leslie Claire Licari has emerged as a dynamic and prolific researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic urological surgery. Her work spans several critical domains, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management, single-port robotic surgery, upper and lower urinary tract oncology, and fluorescence-guided surgical techniques. Licari has made particularly notable contributions to understanding surgical outcomes and retreatment rates in BPH surgery, with her analyses of large U.S. databases providing clinicians with valuable real-world data on complications such as urethral stricture formation. A champion of technological innovation, Licari has been instrumental in evaluating single-port robotic platforms across multiple procedures — from prostatectomy to partial nephrectomy — helping establish their safety and efficacy compared to conventional multiport approaches. Her comprehensive review of indocyanine green applications in robotic urology has further shaped how surgeons integrate fluorescence guidance into practice. Collaborative by nature, she has contributed to major multi-institutional initiatives including the ROBUUST 2.0 group and the SPARC Collaborative. With over 230 citations accumulated entirely within 2023–2024, Licari's rapid scholarly impact marks her as an exceptional rising voice in contemporary urological surgery research.
