About
Stephan Korn is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the optimization of surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His major contributions lie in advancing the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) for patients undergoing this procedure—a paradigm shift that reduces hospital stays without compromising patient safety. In his landmark 2024 study published in the *Journal of Endourology*, Korn analyzed data from the National Cancer Database, comparing pre-pandemic and pandemic periods to demonstrate that SDD rates increased significantly during the pandemic, with no corresponding rise in complications or readmissions. This work, already cited 4 times, provides critical evidence for the broader adoption of outpatient RALP protocols. Korn’s research also explores trends in perioperative care, addressing barriers to SDD such as patient selection and institutional practices. His findings have practical implications for reducing healthcare costs and improving patient recovery experiences. By leveraging large-scale national data, Korn has established himself as a key voice in the movement toward more efficient, patient-centered urologic surgery.
