About
Michael Staehler is a urological oncologist and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic technology, and stereotactic radiosurgery — particularly in the management of renal and prostate cancers. He has made pioneering contributions to the application of robotic radiosurgery (CyberKnife) as a nephron-sparing, non-invasive alternative to surgery, demonstrating its safety and efficacy across a range of challenging clinical scenarios, from localized renal tumors to bone and visceral metastases. His landmark work on single-fraction radiosurgery for renal tumors (100+ citations) and image-guided radiosurgery for prostate bone metastases (110 citations) established foundational evidence that has influenced how clinicians approach patients unfit for conventional surgery. Staehler has also contributed substantially to understanding real-world surgical trends in Germany through the large-scale GRAND registry, shedding light on the rapid evolution of robotic urology in clinical practice. His multi-institutional work on hypofractionated SBRT for prostate cancer further underscores his commitment to refining treatment de-escalation strategies. With publications accumulating nearly 300 citations, his research continues to shape evidence-based decision-making in urological oncology.
