About
Dr. Mariely Garcia is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with bladder and prostate cancer, particularly those with compromised renal function. Her key research areas include urinary diversion techniques, the impact of preoperative kidney function on post-surgical outcomes, and the role of multiparametric MRI in prostate cancer management. Dr. Garcia’s most-cited study (7 citations) demonstrates the viability of neobladder creation in patients with chronic kidney disease, challenging traditional exclusion criteria and expanding surgical options for this high-risk population. Her work on negative multiparametric MRI in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (5 citations) provides critical insights into reducing unnecessary biopsies while maintaining detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. Additionally, her research revealing that higher preoperative eGFR predicts worse renal function decline after robotic cystectomy (3 citations) has important implications for postoperative management and patient counseling. Through these contributions, Dr. Garcia is advancing personalized surgical care for urologic oncology patients, helping to refine patient selection and improve long-term outcomes in complex clinical scenarios.
