About
Scott W. Horsley is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with bladder cancer, particularly through the comparison of robot-assisted and open surgical techniques. His most impactful work, a landmark 2022 study in the *Journal of the American Medical Association* (320 citations), demonstrated that robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion does not significantly improve 90-day morbidity or mortality compared to open surgery, challenging prevailing assumptions about the benefits of minimally invasive approaches. This pivotal finding has reshaped clinical decision-making and sparked ongoing debate in the field. Dr. Horsley further advanced the conversation with a 2023 cost-effectiveness analysis (26 citations), revealing that robot-assisted surgery offers limited value to payers relative to its higher costs. His contributions provide critical evidence for balancing innovation with economic and patient-centered outcomes, making him a key voice in evidence-based urologic surgery.
