About
Uwe Michl is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of prostate cancer surgery, particularly in the comparison of open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques to improve oncological and functional outcomes for patients. Most notably, he pioneered the implementation of the Neurovascular Structure-adjacent Frozen-section Examination (NeuroSAFE) technique, demonstrating in a landmark study of over 11,000 patients that it significantly increases nerve-sparing frequency and reduces positive surgical margins—a finding that has garnered over 280 citations. Michl has also led large-scale comparative studies, including an analysis of nearly 11,000 men treated by highly trained surgeons, showing that robot-assisted surgery offers advantages in blood loss and complication rates. His work on postoperative complications using standardized reporting systems has provided critical benchmarks for the field. With a cumulative impact of over 600 citations across his most-cited papers, Michl’s research from the Martini-Klinik has helped establish evidence-based standards for prostate cancer surgery, influencing clinical practice worldwide and improving the quality of life for thousands of patients.
