About
Michael Uy is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research spans surgical technique refinement, perioperative pathway innovation, and healthcare system integration, making him a notable voice in contemporary urologic oncology. Uy's most influential contribution — a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing extraperitoneal versus transperitoneal approaches to RARP, now cited 40 times — has helped guide surgeons in selecting operative strategies tailored to patient needs. He has also been a leading advocate for same-day discharge (SDD) protocols following RARP, publishing multiple studies demonstrating their safety, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. Notably, he led the first Canadian report of SDD after RARP, pioneering ambulatory surgical pathways within a universal healthcare framework. His more recent work explores predictors of failed SDD and the long-term continence benefits of posterior reconstruction techniques during urethrovesical anastomosis, reflecting a commitment to both systemic efficiency and patient quality of life. Across his growing body of work, Uy has established himself as an important contributor to evidence-based, patient-centered urologic surgery.
