About

Daniel I. McIsaac is a leading researcher in perioperative outcomes and urological surgery, with a focus on improving patient safety and surgical decision-making across age groups. His work centers on evaluating the real-world impact of surgical innovations and understanding age-related risks in urological procedures. McIsaac’s major contributions include a landmark study on robotic prostatectomy, which demonstrated that a broad implementation process and multiple surgeon learning curves can significantly improve transfusion rates and perioperative outcomes—a finding that challenges earlier randomized trial data and supports wider adoption of robotic techniques. His research on age-stratified perioperative mortality after urological surgeries, using a large historical cohort from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, provides critical insights for patient selection and counselling, particularly for elderly populations. With over 13 citations for his robotic surgery study and 8 for his age-stratified mortality analysis, McIsaac’s work has shaped clinical practice and informed surgical guidelines. His achievements highlight a commitment to evidence-based improvements in surgical care, making him a key voice in perioperative medicine and urology.
