About
Dr. Nicola Jeffery is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on enhancing functional recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her primary research areas include surgical innovation for post-prostatectomy continence and structured robotic surgical training. Dr. Jeffery’s most notable contribution is the development of the “RoboSling” technique, a novel procedure that creates a vascularized fascial sling at the bladder neck during RARP to improve early and late urinary continence. Her landmark paper on this technique (2023) has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its impact on clinical practice. Additionally, she is advancing surgical education through her 2025 study comparing outcomes of RARP performed by specialists versus trainees using a modular training approach with dual-console systems. This work demonstrates that structured, supervised training can maintain patient safety while expanding surgical capacity. Dr. Jeffery’s research bridges the gap between technical innovation and practical training, making her a key figure in improving both patient outcomes and the next generation of robotic surgeons.
