About
Dr. Samantha Raffee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on neurogenic bladder dysfunction and complex reconstructive surgery. Her major contributions lie in advancing the understanding of continent cutaneous ileocecocystoplasty (CCIC), a critical procedure for patients with neurogenic bladder who cannot self-catheterize. As a key member of the Neurogenic Bladder Research Group, she co-authored the landmark multicenter study "Contemporary multicenter outcomes of continent cutaneous ileocecocystoplasty in the adult population over a 10‐year period," which has garnered 16 citations for its rigorous analysis of factors affecting surgical morbidity. This work challenged prevailing assumptions by examining the impact of obesity, laparoscopic approaches, and concomitant surgeries on patient outcomes, providing essential evidence for surgical decision-making. Dr. Raffee’s research directly informs clinical practice for a vulnerable patient population, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and real-world outcomes. Her dedication to collaborative, multi-institutional research has established her as a rising authority in neuro-urology, with her findings shaping guidelines for continent diversion procedures.
