About
Miranda Newbery is a biomedical engineer and surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing radioguided surgery (RGS) for prostate cancer. Her primary research areas include the development of novel laparoscopic instrumentation, intraoperative imaging, and sentinel node biopsy techniques. Newbery’s most notable contribution is her 2019 study evaluating a tethered laparoscopic gamma probe designed to improve manoeuvrability during robot-assisted RGS procedures. Using a pelvic phantom and porcine model, she demonstrated the probe’s usability and technical feasibility, addressing a critical limitation of rigid laparoscopic probes in prostate cancer surgery. This work holds promise for enhancing 99mTc-PSMA-guided surgery of nodal metastases, potentially improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. While her most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations, its impact lies in laying foundational evidence for more flexible, effective RGS tools. Newbery’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions to real-world surgical challenges. Her dedication to refining minimally invasive techniques positions her as an emerging innovator in urologic oncology, with future work likely to further transform how surgeons navigate and treat prostate cancer.
