About

Nir Tomer is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, oncology, and health services research. His primary contributions center on robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on prostate cancer care and kidney transplantation. Tomer’s most cited work, “Leveraging 5G technology for robotic surgery and cancer care” (51 citations), is a forward-looking study that explores how ultra-low latency networks could enable remote robotic procedures and real-time data sharing, potentially expanding access to specialized cancer surgery. He has also conducted important population-level analyses, including a New York statewide comparison of robotic-assisted versus open simple prostatectomy (12 citations), which provided early evidence on adoption patterns and perioperative outcomes. His multi-surgical discipline analysis of live donor nephrectomies (4 citations) further demonstrates his interest in optimizing surgical approaches across specialties. By combining technical feasibility studies with large-scale administrative data, Tomer bridges the gap between emerging technology and real-world clinical practice, offering insights that are valuable for surgeons, health policy makers, and researchers interested in the future of digitally-enabled surgical care.
