About
Stephen Dailey is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for patients with bladder cancer, with a particular focus on the comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques. His most cited study, a multi-institutional investigation from 2014, rigorously compared health-related quality of life after robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy using a validated, bladder-specific instrument. This work, which has garnered 42 citations, provides crucial, patient-centered evidence to guide surgical decision-making, moving beyond traditional metrics like complication rates to assess what matters most to patients. Dailey has also contributed to the critical evaluation of perioperative care, as seen in his work examining length of stay following radical cystectomy, a key driver of both patient recovery and healthcare costs. By systematically analyzing these outcomes, his research helps define best practices for one of the most morbid procedures in urologic oncology. His work is essential for surgeons and patients navigating the complex trade-offs between different surgical approaches, ultimately striving to enhance both survival and quality of life after bladder cancer treatment.
