About
Michelle Donachie is a leading clinical researcher in urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of bladder cancer. Her work is pivotal in the ongoing debate between robot-assisted and open surgical techniques. She is best known for her landmark 2022 study, cited over 320 times, which rigorously compared robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion to the traditional open approach. This high-impact trial provided critical evidence on 90-day morbidity and mortality, directly informing surgical decision-making for patients with bladder cancer. Building on this, Donachie has also advanced the conversation by evaluating the cost-effectiveness of these procedures, demonstrating a commitment to both clinical outcomes and healthcare economics. Her research is instrumental in defining the value and recovery benefits of minimally invasive surgery, making her a key voice in shaping modern urological practice and guiding surgeons toward evidence-based, patient-centered care.
