About
Miki Haifler is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urological conditions. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic surgery for prostate cancer, kidney reconstruction, and pediatric urology. Haifler has made significant contributions to understanding how prior laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair affects subsequent radical prostatectomy, a critical consideration given the increasing prevalence of mesh placement. His comparative studies on laparoscopic versus robot-assisted pyeloplasty for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction have helped clarify the relative benefits of these approaches, with his work on this topic accumulating over 30 citations. He has also pioneered techniques for challenging cases, such as robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for "huge" hydronephrosis causing vena cava thrombus. Haifler's research on prophylactic antibiotic protocols following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy has informed clinical guidelines, while his cost-effectiveness analyses of enhanced recovery protocols and robotic approaches to radical cystectomy address pressing healthcare economic questions. His collaborative work on the S.I.B. margin score for nephron-sparing surgery demonstrates his commitment to standardizing surgical quality assessment. With a career spanning over a decade, Haifler continues to shape urologic practice through rigorous outcomes research and technical innovation.
