About
Dr. Steven B. Brandes is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on complex reconstructive urology, with particular expertise in urethral strictures, bladder neck contractures, and iatrogenic injuries to the lower urinary tract. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of complications following common urologic and gynecologic procedures. A landmark study, his observational cohort analysis of bladder and ureteral injuries during benign hysterectomy in New York State (13 citations), provided critical epidemiological data on a serious surgical complication. Dr. Brandes has also produced seminal work on recalcitrant posterior urethral stenoses, offering a comprehensive narrative review of refractory bladder neck contractures and vesicourethral anastomotic stenoses after prostate cancer treatment, a troublesome and dreaded complication for patients. Further contributions include a population-based analysis of lower urinary tract stenosis following surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (7 citations) and a pioneering study on national utilization trends for robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation, highlighting how hospital ownership, geography, and patient demographics influence access to care. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Brandes continues to shape clinical guidelines and improve surgical outcomes for patients with complex urologic conditions.
