About

Guan Hee Tan is a urological researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes and patient care pathways in prostate cancer treatment. His key research areas include enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, length-of-stay reduction, and comparative effectiveness of open versus robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Tan’s most notable contribution is his study on single-night stays for open radical prostatectomy, which demonstrated that streamlined care pathways can significantly reduce hospitalization without compromising patient safety—a critical finding given the limited access to robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy in many Canadian centers. With 2 citations, this work has informed clinical practices in resource-constrained settings. Tan’s research addresses the practical challenge of delivering efficient, high-quality urological care, bridging the gap between ideal surgical technologies and real-world accessibility. His work is particularly valuable for clinicians and healthcare administrators seeking to implement cost-effective, patient-centered protocols in prostate cancer surgery.
