About
Steve Kaplan is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate conditions, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and post-prostatectomy recovery. His major contributions include pioneering refinements to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, most notably through the development of a total anatomic reconstruction technique augmented with dynamic detrusor cuff trigonoplasty and suprapubic tube placement. This innovation, detailed in his 2012 paper (16 citations), significantly improved time to continence—a critical quality-of-life outcome for patients. Kaplan has also been instrumental in standardizing the Aquablation procedure for BPH, as outlined in his 2022 work (6 citations), which provides a comprehensive video atlas for efficient, reproducible treatment. His research bridges the gap between technical precision and patient-centered outcomes, offering practical, evidence-based solutions that enhance recovery and reduce complications. With a focus on minimally invasive approaches, Kaplan’s work continues to shape urologic practice, making him a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize surgical care for prostate disease.
