About
Brent K. Hollenbeck is a leading urologic oncologist and health services researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the understanding of surgical quality, cost, and outcomes in prostate and bladder cancer care. His research centers on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open surgical techniques, the dissemination of advanced treatment technologies, and the critical role of surgeon volume in patient outcomes. Hollenbeck’s landmark study on the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium (over 300 citations) demonstrated the feasibility and safety of intracorporeal urinary diversion, while his highly cited analysis of advanced treatment technologies (141 citations) exposed the troubling trend of overtreatment among low-risk prostate cancer patients. He has also produced seminal work on the costs of radical prostatectomy and the risk factors for post-surgical complications, such as vesicourethral anastomotic stenoses. With multiple papers exceeding 100 citations and a consistent focus on real-world, population-based outcomes, Hollenbeck’s research provides the evidence base for value-driven surgical decision-making. His contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of surgical innovation, health policy, and patient-centered outcomes.
