About
Dr. Therese Kurtz is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative care and surgical outcomes for patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Her most influential contribution is a landmark 2020 study demonstrating the profound impact of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation pathway on early recovery after robot-assisted radical cystectomy. This matched analysis, cited 12 times, showed that structured, team-based preoperative and postoperative protocols significantly reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and improve functional recovery—establishing a new standard for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in urologic oncology. Dr. Kurtz’s research bridges surgical technique and patient-centered care, emphasizing how systematic rehabilitation can transform outcomes for bladder cancer patients. Her work is widely recognized for its practical, evidence-based approach, influencing clinical guidelines and inspiring further investigation into multimodal perioperative interventions. Through her rigorous methodology and focus on measurable patient benefits, Dr. Kurtz has become a key voice in advancing surgical quality and recovery science.
