About
Petr Macek is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancers, with a particular focus on improving functional outcomes and diagnostic accuracy. His major contributions include pioneering comparisons of micro-ultrasound and MRI-fusion biopsy technologies, demonstrating that cognitive-guided micro-ultrasound biopsies achieve comparable cancer detection rates to established robotic fusion methods (52 citations). Macek has also systematically evaluated perioperative outcomes, showing that robotic radical cystectomy yields superior lymph node yields for more accurate bladder cancer staging compared to laparoscopic approaches, while maintaining comparable complication profiles. His randomized clinical trial on pelvic floor muscle training combined with duloxetine for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (9 citations) provides evidence-based guidance for managing this common quality-of-life concern. Additionally, his work on renal tumor biopsy safety and optimal partial nephrectomy outcomes has helped refine surgical decision-making. With over 100 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Macek’s research directly informs clinical practice, offering urologists and patients clearer pathways to effective, less invasive cancer care with better functional preservation.
