About
Dr. Mike Wenzel is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve both oncological and functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His major contributions lie in the meticulous study of prostate anatomy and surgical technique preservation. He has demonstrated that preserving the full functional-length urethral sphincter and neurovascular bundles, guided by intraoperative frozen section, significantly improves long-term continence rates—a finding supported by his highly cited 2022 study (18 citations). Dr. Wenzel has also shown that prostatic apex shape and urethral sphincter length, as measured on preoperative MRI, can predict very early continence after surgery (25 citations). His work extends to complex procedures, including the development of an atlas for intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder techniques after robotic cystectomy (29 citations) and systematic reviews on salvage RARP. With over 160 cumulative citations across his top papers, Dr. Wenzel’s research is instrumental in advancing surgical precision and patient quality of life, establishing him as a key voice in the robotic surgery community.
