About

Dr. Elizabeth Day is a leading surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on optimizing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in urological oncology and intra-abdominal procedures. Her major contributions center on understanding how surgical volume and preoperative planning directly impact patient outcomes. In her highly cited 2022 systematic review, Dr. Day demonstrated a clear volume-outcome relationship in robotic-assisted surgery, establishing that higher surgical volumes are associated with better patient results—a finding with significant implications for healthcare policy and surgical training. Her more recent 2025 meta-analysis on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy broke new ground by evaluating "trifecta" outcomes—the simultaneous achievement of cancer control, urinary continence, and erectile function. This work challenges the field to move beyond single-outcome metrics toward more comprehensive definitions of surgical success. Though early in her career, Dr. Day’s research has already garnered substantial attention, with her systematic review accumulating 13 citations and her meta-analysis already influencing surgical planning protocols. Her work bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes, making her a rising voice in evidence-based robotic surgery.
