About
Britta Gruene is a urologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), particularly for patients with large prostate volumes. Her research compares minimally invasive laser techniques—such as Thulium laser enucleation (ThuLEP) and Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP)—with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), providing critical evidence on safety, efficiency, and outcomes in tertiary care settings. In her most cited study (2023, 6 citations), she conducted a propensity score-matched analysis demonstrating the clinical equivalence of ThuLEP and RASP for large-gland BPH. She has since extended this work to HoLEP versus RASP (2025) and addressed the surgical management of prostates exceeding 200 ml—a population often excluded from trials. Her contributions help guide surgical decision-making for complex BPH cases, balancing endoscopic, robotic, and open approaches. Gruene’s work is especially valuable for urologists and trainees navigating the evolving landscape of prostate surgery, offering data-driven insights into outcomes for the most challenging patient presentations.
