About
Dr. Olga Katzendorn is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is redefining the frontiers of surgical oncology, particularly in the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. Her research masterfully bridges complex surgical technique with innovative biomaterials and advanced imaging. Dr. Katzendorn’s key contributions include a landmark study on “perinephric toxic fat,” where she demonstrated that a high Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score significantly increases surgical complexity and impacts perioperative outcomes in partial nephrectomy (20 citations). In a first-in-men feasibility analysis, she explored the use of spider silk for erectile nerve reconstruction during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a groundbreaking step toward preserving postoperative function. Most recently, she has advanced the field of radioguided surgery by validating a novel drop-in gamma probe for PSMA-targeted lymph node detection in primary prostate cancer. Her work is not only technically innovative but highly cited, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Dr. Katzendorn is a true translational researcher, bringing cutting-edge materials science and nuclear medicine directly into the operating room to improve patient lives.
