About
George Mirmilstein is a urological surgeon whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques to improve oncologic and functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery. His most impactful contribution is the pioneering evaluation of the NeuroSAFE (neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination) approach within a British setting, detailed in his 2017 study (73 citations). This work demonstrated how intraoperative frozen-section analysis of the neurovascular bundle can enhance nerve-sparing during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, balancing cancer control with the preservation of erectile function. Mirmilstein’s research directly addresses a critical challenge in urologic oncology: minimizing post-surgical morbidity without compromising oncologic safety. Beyond this, he has explored practical innovations in port-site closure to prevent hernias (the Lister AirSeal® port closure technique) and the use of indocyanine green for enhanced localization of duplicated ureters during robotic Hartmann’s reversal. His work is characterized by a focus on translating technical refinements into measurable patient benefits, with his NeuroSAFE study serving as a key reference for surgeons adopting this method. Mirmilstein’s contributions exemplify how meticulous surgical technique and evidence-based evaluation can advance the field of robotic urology.
