About

Dr. Sarah A. Adelstein is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of reconstructive urology and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management. Her most influential contribution, the 2015 paper "Robot-Assisted Ureteral Reconstruction Using Buccal Mucosa" (92 citations), established a novel, minimally invasive technique that has become a cornerstone in complex ureteral repair, offering patients reduced morbidity and improved outcomes. More recently, Dr. Adelstein has turned her analytical expertise to patient safety and quality of life, as demonstrated by her 2024 study on postoperative urinary incontinence following BPH surgery. This comprehensive national database analysis (8 citations) provides critical, real-world insights into complication rates across different surgical approaches, directly informing clinical decision-making and preoperative counseling. By bridging innovative surgical techniques with rigorous outcomes research, Dr. Adelstein’s work not only pushes the boundaries of what is surgically possible but also ensures that patient-centered outcomes remain at the forefront of urologic practice. Her dual focus on cutting-edge reconstruction and evidence-based complication analysis marks her as a pivotal figure shaping modern urology.
