About

Dr. Yvette Henry is a distinguished urologic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the perioperative management of patients undergoing robot-assisted surgery. Her key contributions center on optimizing surgical safety, particularly regarding the use of anticoagulants in complex urologic procedures. In her landmark 2011 study, "Preoperative Aspirin Is Safe in Patients Undergoing Urologic Robot-Assisted Surgery," Dr. Henry demonstrated that continuing aspirin therapy does not increase bleeding or complication risks during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and nephrectomy. This work, cited 21 times, has directly influenced clinical guidelines, enabling patients with cardiovascular comorbidities to safely undergo minimally invasive urologic surgery without discontinuing life-saving antiplatelet therapy. Dr. Henry's research bridges the critical gap between urologic oncology and perioperative medicine, providing evidence-based protocols that reduce patient anxiety and improve surgical outcomes. Her findings have been instrumental in shaping modern urologic practice, empowering surgeons to prioritize both oncologic efficacy and cardiovascular safety. Through her rigorous clinical investigations, Dr. Henry has established herself as a leading voice in urologic surgical safety, with her work continuing to guide decision-making in robot-assisted procedures worldwide.
