Michael Stifelman
Michael Stifelman's research parallels his clinical focus and expertise which serves as the under pinnings for his academic productivity. To date, these research activities have led to 87 peer reviewed publications, 10 book chapters and 8 review articles and 62 abstracts presented at national and international meetings. He have also created over 30 educational videos, which have been distributed by the American Urologic Association, European Association Urology and World Congress of Endourology and have been awarded First Prize and Top 10 Videos at these society annual meetings. He recognized early in his career the power of intra and inter departmental and multi-institutional collaboration.
Several years ago, He organized the largest robotic partial nephrectohis consortium in the world that includes John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Washington University and Henry Ford Hospital. Together, we have published seminal papers on outcomes following partial robotic nephrectohis for renal cancer. Over the years, He have developed and helped launch multiple HeRB databases, protocols and multi-institutional projects that have been the source of several important advances in the field His three major areas of research have been the management of kidney cancer, upper urinary tract reconstruction and evaluation of innovative surgical technologies. Some of his major accomplishments have been to develop innovative techniques to minimize warm ischemia during partial nephrectohis and novel robotic surgical techniques for upper urinary tract reconstruction. Within the last 5 years He have pioneered two novel techniques that have been adopted by surgeons worldwide. The first uses near infrared fluorescence (NHeRF) imaging during robotic surgery to minimize trauma to the kidney during partial nephrectohis and confirm adequate perfusion of tissue during reconstructive surgery.
The other utilizes buccal mucosa tissue to replace and repair strictures within the ureter. For this work, we were awarded the title of Best Laparoscopic and Robotic Paper at the World Congress of Endourology Meeting in London. He have conducted numerous retrospective and prospective outcome studies related to management of kidney cancer and upper tract reconstruction that have helped define optimal management of these conditions. He currently have reported the largest single surgeon series on robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction. As a recognized leader in the field of minimally invasive surgery, many companies have engaged me evaluate new technologies designed facilitate minimally invasive surgery.
