About

Dr. Maren Juliane Wenk is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), particularly for patients with large prostate glands. Her work directly compares the safety and efficacy of modern, minimally invasive laser techniques against robotic-assisted approaches. In her highly cited 2023 study, Dr. Wenk conducted a rigorous propensity score-matched analysis comparing Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making in a tertiary care setting. She has further extended this comparative work to include Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) versus robotic transvesical enucleation, as detailed in her 2025 publication. By systematically evaluating these advanced technologies, Dr. Wenk is helping to define optimal, evidence-based treatment pathways for complex BPH cases, directly impacting clinical practice and patient outcomes. Her focused, high-impact contributions are establishing her as a key voice in the evolution of modern prostatic surgery.
