About
Bernhard Fangmeyer is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical techniques and outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. His most cited work, a prospective randomized trial from 2018, demonstrated that fluorescence-supported lymphography during extended pelvic lymph node dissection significantly improves lymph node yield, a critical factor in accurate cancer staging—a contribution that has garnered 47 citations and shaped intraoperative practice. Fangmeyer has also pioneered investigations into the impact of prior transurethral subvesical deobstruction (such as TURP or laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia) on subsequent robot-assisted prostatectomy outcomes. His 2021 study, with 20 citations, systematically examined whether these patients face impaired surgical, functional, or oncologic results, providing essential guidance for managing this growing clinical scenario. Through these works, Fangmeyer has helped refine perioperative decision-making and surgical precision, directly improving patient care in high-volume centers. His research underscores a commitment to evidence-based optimization of robotic urologic surgery, making him a key voice in the field.
