About
Stacy Loeb is a leading urologic researcher whose work spans prostate cancer surgery, pandemic preparedness, and the emerging intersection of climate change with urological disease. Her most cited paper, a systematic review on urology standards of care during the COVID-19 pandemic (85 citations), provided critical guidance for maintaining surgical safety and resource allocation during a global crisis. Loeb has made seminal contributions to the comparative effectiveness of radical prostatectomy techniques, notably through nationwide population-based studies demonstrating that robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and open retropubic radical prostatectomy have comparable 90-day postoperative mortality rates (16 citations). Her research also revealed that robotic surgery may increase risks of small bowel obstruction and abdominal pain due to intraperitoneal access (11 citations), challenging assumptions about minimally invasive superiority. In a forward-looking 2025 paper (16 citations), Loeb established a novel link between climate change and urological disease, positioning her as a pioneer in environmental urology. Her work on benign prostate glands at the bladder neck margin (13 citations) further refined surgical quality metrics. With over 85 citations on pandemic protocols alone, Loeb’s research has shaped both immediate clinical practice and long-term planetary health considerations in urology.
