About
Dr. Marina M. Tabbara is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the surgical management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the advancement of minimally invasive transplantation techniques. Her major contributions include pioneering the surgical evolution of radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy, a critical procedure for RCC that extends into the renal vein or inferior vena cava—a complication affecting up to 25% of RCC patients. Her 2023 narrative review on this topic has garnered 22 citations, reflecting its importance in guiding surgical practice and improving outcomes for complex cases. Dr. Tabbara is also at the forefront of robotic surgery, as demonstrated by her 2025 study on robotically procured living donor kidneys transplanted into pediatric recipients. This work highlights her commitment to expanding access to transplantation while minimizing surgical trauma, a notable achievement in pediatric urology. With a focus on high-risk oncology and innovative surgical approaches, Dr. Tabbara’s research is shaping the future of urologic surgery, offering new hope for patients with advanced RCC and young transplant recipients alike.
