About
Dr. Natalie Hartman is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Her primary contributions lie in refining surgical techniques to reduce complications, particularly focusing on urinary diversion and the prevention of uretero-enteric strictures. Her most impactful study, "Use of indocyanine green to minimise uretero‐enteric strictures after robotic radical cystectomy" (2019, 89 citations), demonstrates a novel application of intraoperative imaging to assess ureteric vascularity, directly reducing a common and debilitating postoperative complication. This work has been widely cited, reflecting its practical significance in robotic surgery. Dr. Hartman has also investigated the factors influencing intraoperative conversion from planned orthotopic to non-orthotopic urinary diversion (2018), providing critical insights for surgical planning and patient counseling. Her research bridges the gap between innovative technology and tangible patient benefit, establishing her as a key figure in advancing the safety and efficacy of complex urologic oncology procedures.
