About
Daniel Freitas is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer. His key research areas include reducing postoperative complications, particularly uretero-enteric strictures (UES)—the most common complication requiring reoperation after cystectomy. Freitas’s major contribution lies in investigating the use of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography to assess ureteral blood supply prior to intracorporeal ureteroileal anastomosis, a technique aimed at preventing stricture formation. His most-cited work, "PD38-02," presented at a major urology conference, explores the prevalence and predictors of UES after RARC, providing critical insights into patient risk factors and surgical strategies. Though his citation count is modest, his research addresses a clinically significant problem with direct implications for patient quality of life. Freitas’s work represents an important step toward standardizing intraoperative assessment to reduce reoperation rates, making him a notable contributor to the advancement of robotic urologic oncology.
