About
Caitlin Bakker is a leading evidence synthesis researcher whose work centers on the comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques for clinically localized prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Her major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and Cochrane protocols evaluating Retzius-sparing versus standard RALP, as well as posterior musculofascial reconstruction techniques. Her most cited paper, a 2020 study on Retzius-sparing RALP, has garnered 70 citations, reflecting its significant impact on urologic surgical practice. Bakker’s work is notable for its rigorous methodological approach, including comprehensive database searches and grey literature inclusion, ensuring high-quality evidence synthesis. She has also contributed to the conceptual evolution of Retzius-sparing RALP, examining its development through the IDEA framework (Idea, Development, Evolution, Assessment, Long-term Study). With over 125 total citations across her key publications, Bakker’s research directly informs surgical decision-making and patient outcomes, making her a vital voice in evidence-based urology and a trusted resource for clinicians and researchers seeking clarity on optimal prostate cancer surgical approaches.
