About
Dr. Hanna Zurl is a pioneering urological researcher whose work bridges the critical intersection of environmental health and surgical outcomes. Her most cited paper, "Urology on a changing planet: links between climate change and urological disease" (2025, 16 citations), establishes her as a leading voice in understanding how planetary health directly impacts urological conditions—a field she is helping to define. Dr. Zurl’s research also advances patient-centered surgical care, as demonstrated in her study "Trends and Safety of Same-day Discharge for Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy" (2024, 4 citations), which analyzed national cancer database trends to show that same-day discharge remains safe and feasible even during the pandemic. By combining environmental epidemiology with evidence-based surgical practice, she is reshaping how urologists consider both global and individual patient risks. Her work not only highlights the urgent need for climate-aware medicine but also provides actionable data to improve recovery and resource utilization. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Zurl is a rising authority in sustainable urology and perioperative innovation.
