About
Dr. Michael D. Felice is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques and improving outcomes in urologic oncology, particularly for bladder and kidney cancers. His major contributions include evaluating the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, where his 2024 study assessed complications, survival, and opioid prescribing patterns—a critical area for enhancing recovery and reducing opioid dependence. In kidney cancer surgery, Dr. Felice has pioneered the evolution of tumor enucleation partial nephrectomy, introducing a sutureless hemostatic bandage as an alternative to standard renorrhaphy. This innovation minimizes blood loss and preserves healthy renal tissue, directly impacting patient recovery and long-term kidney function. His work on robotic radical prostatectomy has also identified that Pfannenstiel extraction sites significantly reduce postoperative hernias compared to traditional methods, offering a practical improvement in surgical practice. With over 7 citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. Felice’s research is shaping modern urologic surgery by prioritizing minimally invasive approaches, reduced complications, and better patient-centered outcomes.
