About

Paul J. Feustel is a urologic surgeon and researcher dedicated to improving surgical outcomes through innovation in robotic surgery and perioperative care. His work centers on three key areas: optimizing robotic surgical techniques, enhancing recovery after surgery (ERAS), and reducing operative inefficiencies. Feustel’s most cited study, “Robotic ventral hernia repair: a safe and durable approach” (30 citations), demonstrates his commitment to validating robotic procedures for broader applications. He has also made significant contributions to urologic oncology, particularly with his research on enhanced recovery after partial and radical nephrectomy, which showed that ERAS pathways reduce length of stay, opioid use, and costs (7 citations). His investigations into robot set-up time (8 citations) and patient-specific factors affecting operating room efficiency (5 citations) highlight his focus on quality improvement and cost reduction. Notably, Feustel’s self-assessment study on partial nephrectomy (3 citations) introduced a novel approach to reducing positive surgical margins through surgeon self-reflection, directly impacting patient outcomes. With a career spanning over a decade, Feustel’s work bridges technical precision and systemic efficiency, offering practical solutions for modern urologic surgery.
