About
Regina Krisam is a clinical researcher specializing in surgical oncology and health services research, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted surgery for renal cancer. Her major contributions center on advancing evidence-based practice through rigorous trial design and feasibility studies, most notably as a key investigator in the ROBOCOP II trial. This landmark randomized controlled feasibility trial, detailed in her highly cited 2021 protocol paper (5 citations), directly addresses the critical gap in comparative effectiveness research between robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and open partial nephrectomy (OPN) for renal neoplasms. By establishing the methodological framework for this pioneering trial, Krisam has helped lay the groundwork for future definitive studies that could transform surgical decision-making in nephron-sparing surgery. Her work is particularly impactful for its emphasis on pragmatic, real-world clinical trial design that balances methodological rigor with practical feasibility. As a researcher committed to generating high-quality evidence in a field historically dominated by observational studies, Krisam’s contributions are helping to move robotic surgery toward more robust, randomized evaluation—a vital step for improving patient outcomes and surgical standards.
