About
Dr. Natalie Passarelli is a pioneering urological researcher whose work centers on gender disparities in surgical practice, particularly within robotic and laparoscopic urology. Her major contributions illuminate how gender influences surgical volume, patient populations, and technology adoption among urologists. In her landmark 2023 study, "Highlighting Gender Differences in RLS: Analysis of Gender in Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgical Volume in Urology Vs Other Subspecialties" (4 citations), she revealed significant gender-based gaps in surgical case loads. Her 2025 objective-driven work, "Are Women Urologists Caring for Predominantly Women Patient Populations?" (3 citations), explores patient-physician gender concordance, showing that women urologists often serve predominantly female patient bases—a finding with profound implications for workforce planning and health equity. Additionally, her 2024 analysis of American Board of Urology case logs (1 citation) tracks a decade of robotic surgery adoption, demonstrating slower uptake among women urologists. Collectively, Dr. Passarelli’s research provides critical data for addressing systemic barriers in surgical fields, advocating for mentorship and policy changes to support women surgeons. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in gender equity, surgical innovation, and the future of urological care.
