About

Udo Nagele is a leading figure in urological surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His research primarily focuses on the standardization and outcomes of robotic and single-site surgery, as well as the optimization of laparoscopic radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. A key contribution is his role in authoring the influential "EAU Guidelines on Robotic and Single-site Surgery in Urology," a foundational document cited over 160 times that has helped shape international best practices. His multi-institutional analysis of laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy, with 52 citations, provided critical early evidence on the safety and feasibility of this complex procedure. Demonstrating a commitment to improving patient outcomes, Nagele also led a critical analysis of early recurrence after laparoscopic radical cystectomy within a large European cohort (ESUT), identifying risk factors for unexpected disease progression even in patients with favorable pathology. This work, cited 39 times, has direct implications for postoperative surveillance and patient counseling. Through these contributions, Nagele has established himself as a key voice in the technological evolution of urologic oncology.
