About

Mark O. Daugherty is a leading urologic surgeon whose work has transformed perioperative care for patients undergoing major bladder cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols and the integration of robotic surgical techniques. Dr. Daugherty’s landmark study, “Implementation of the Exeter Enhanced Recovery Programme for patients undergoing radical cystectomy” (50 citations), demonstrated that a structured ERP significantly reduces length of stay without increasing complication or readmission rates, establishing a new standard of care. Building on this, his subsequent work, “Introduction of robot-assisted radical cystectomy within an established enhanced recovery programme” (20 citations), showed that combining minimally invasive robotic surgery with ERAS further improves patient outcomes and recovery times. He has also contributed to the field of anesthesia for major urologic procedures, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration. With over 70 combined citations, Dr. Daugherty’s research has been instrumental in advancing both the safety and efficiency of radical cystectomy, making him a key figure in modern urologic oncology and perioperative medicine.
