About
Michael P. Porter is a urological researcher and surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of bladder cancer management, surgical innovation, and medical imaging technology. Porter has made significant contributions to the development of automated cystoscopy systems, most notably pioneering the use of endoscopic video mosaicking to reconstruct comprehensive surface maps of the bladder for cancer surveillance — work that garnered 80 citations and addressed one of oncology's most pressing economic burdens, as bladder cancer remains the costliest cancer to treat over a patient's lifetime due to its high recurrence rates. His research extends into comparative surgical effectiveness, having examined perioperative outcomes of robotic versus open radical cystectomy in elderly patients, contributing meaningful evidence to guide treatment decisions in a predominantly older patient population. More recently, Porter has embraced cutting-edge computer vision techniques, incorporating neural radiance fields for high-quality 3D bladder reconstruction and exploring real-time cystoscope localization to enable telecystoscopy — innovations with profound implications for global access to urologic diagnostics. His body of work reflects a consistent commitment to improving early detection, surgical precision, and patient outcomes in urological oncology.
