About
Charlotte F. Kweldam is a leading urological researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, with a particular focus on nerve-sparing techniques during radical prostatectomy. Her major contributions revolve around the NeuroSAFE (neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination) procedure, an intraoperative technique that allows surgeons to preserve critical nerves while ensuring complete tumor removal. Kweldam’s landmark 2022 study, cited 40 times, demonstrated that NeuroSAFE significantly increases the rate of nerve-sparing surgery without compromising oncological outcomes. She further expanded this work in a 2023 paper (22 citations) showing that this approach improves postoperative urinary continence and erectile function. Most recently, her 2024 study (9 citations) confirmed that centralized prostatectomy with NeuroSAFE enhances surgical margin control. Collectively, her research has been cited over 70 times, establishing her as a key figure in the movement toward more personalized, function-preserving prostate cancer surgery. Her work directly addresses the critical balance between cancer control and quality of life, offering evidence that surgeons can achieve both goals through innovative intraoperative assessment.
