Amy E. Krambeck

About

Amy E. Krambeck is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has transformed the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Her major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery and novel technologies like Aquablation. She has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of Aquablation for large prostates (80–150 cc), with her 1-year and 2-year results (63 and 24 citations) showing durable outcomes. Dr. Krambeck also pioneered comparative studies between open, robotic, and laser procedures for BPH, including her highly cited work on holmium laser enucleation (36 citations). Her landmark 2008 paper on radical prostatectomy (271 citations) established key perioperative and oncological benchmarks for robot-assisted versus open techniques, while her 2006 study on robotic sacrocolpopexy (200 citations) advanced minimally invasive pelvic reconstruction. Beyond her clinical research, she has contributed to pediatric urology and workforce surveys for the Endourological Society. With over 600 total citations, Dr. Krambeck’s work has reshaped surgical decision-making, offering patients safer, more effective options for complex urologic conditions.
