About

Marie-Claire Rassweiler is a urological researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery and endourology. Specializing in the technological evolution of urological procedures, she has made significant contributions to advancing the clinical understanding and application of techniques used to treat nephrolithiasis — kidney stones — and related conditions. Her most cited work, "New Technology in Ureteroscopy and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy" (2015, 93 citations), offers a comprehensive review of cutting-edge developments in retrograde intrarenal surgery and percutaneous endoscopic approaches, demonstrating how emerging technologies have expanded the indications for endourology beyond traditional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This paper has become an important reference point for clinicians navigating a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Equally influential is her co-authored retrospective and forward-looking analysis, "The Past, Present and Future of Minimally Invasive Therapy in Urology" (2013, 71 citations), which traces three decades of surgical innovation while offering a speculative 25-year outlook — a rare and ambitious scholarly contribution that positions her as both a historian and visionary within the field. Together, her publications reflect a sustained commitment to shaping how urological surgery evolves, making her work essential reading for trainees and established clinicians alike.
