About
Daniela Volz is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for bladder and prostate cancers. Her research centers on comparing the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive robotic techniques against traditional open surgery, with a particular focus on reducing postoperative complications and improving patient outcomes. Volz’s landmark 2009 study, comparing over 1,200 robot-assisted radical prostatectomies to 485 open procedures at Karolinska University Hospital, has garnered 137 citations, providing critical evidence for the adoption of robotic approaches. Her most cited work, a 2011 paper on robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion for bladder cancer patients (211 citations), established a new standard for complex oncologic procedures, demonstrating that advanced reconstructive surgery could be performed safely with minimally invasive techniques. These contributions have helped shape modern urologic oncology practice, making her a pivotal figure in the transition toward robotic surgery for major pelvic cancers.
