About
Daniel Stirt is a urologic surgeon and researcher advancing the field of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a focus on optimizing patient recovery and surgical outcomes. His key research areas include nerve-sparing techniques, same-day discharge protocols, and the use of regenerative grafts to improve postoperative function. Stirt’s most impactful work, “Nerve spare robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with amniotic membranes: medium term outcomes” (25 citations), demonstrates how human placenta-derived grafts can accelerate the return of continence and potency after prostate cancer surgery. He further validated this approach in a propensity score-matched analysis (4 citations), confirming that amniotic membranes do not compromise oncologic safety. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stirt led the development of a same-day discharge protocol for RARP at a high-volume referral center (22 citations), reducing viral exposure while maintaining effective cancer treatment. His work also examines how prior transurethral resection of the prostate affects robotic prostatectomy outcomes (4 citations). With over 55 total citations, Stirt’s contributions are shaping modern prostate cancer surgery by balancing oncologic control with enhanced recovery and quality of life.
