About
Angelika Borkowetz is a urological surgeon and health services researcher whose work centers on prostate and bladder cancer surgery, comparative surgical outcomes, and patient-reported quality of life. Her most influential contributions draw on large German cohort studies and international population-based datasets to evaluate real-world surgical practice, moving beyond controlled trial settings to capture outcomes in routine clinical care. Borkowetz has made notable strides in comparing open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating through six-year follow-up data that decision regret and long-term functional outcomes differ less by surgical approach than previously assumed — findings that have shaped patient counseling practices and accumulated over 75 citations combined. Her international comparative analyses of radical cystectomy and renal tumor surgery across the United States and Germany, each gathering nearly 30 citations, highlight evolving trends in surgical morbidity and the improving adoption of organ-preserving techniques globally. Beyond outcomes research, Borkowetz has investigated the surgical learning curve in robotic prostatectomy and guideline adherence for lymph node dissection. Her most recent work ventures into augmented reality navigation for minimally invasive prostatectomy, signaling an ambition to bridge clinical data science with cutting-edge surgical technology. Her portfolio reflects a career dedicated to improving evidence-based urological surgery through rigorous, patient-centered investigation.
