About
Maria Innes is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing recovery pathways and patient outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her work centers on two transformative, patient-centered innovations: same-day discharge protocols and self-removal of urinary catheters following surgery. In her landmark 2023 study, "Assessment of routine same-day discharge surgery for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy," Innes demonstrated that carefully selected patients can safely bypass overnight hospitalization—a paradigm shift that reduces healthcare costs and enhances patient comfort. This paper has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Complementing this, her feasibility study on self-removal of catheters (6 citations) challenges traditional postoperative care by empowering patients to manage their own recovery, reducing clinic visits and anxiety. Innes’s contributions are notable for their dual focus on surgical safety and patient autonomy, bridging technical excellence with quality-of-life improvements. Her work is already shaping guidelines for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in urology, making her a leading voice in modern, patient-driven surgical care.
