About
Egbert Lenters is a specialist surgical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robot-assisted pelvic floor surgery, with a particular focus on multicompartment prolapse, mesh safety, and patient-reported outcomes including sexual function. His landmark 2016 prospective cohort study on robot-assisted sacrocolporectopexy — combining correction of both genital and rectal prolapse in a single robotic procedure — earned 41 citations and helped establish a novel surgical paradigm for complex pelvic floor disorders. Lenters has systematically investigated the full clinical picture of robotic pelvic reconstruction, from learning curve analyses using cumulative sum methodology (36 citations) to long-term mesh erosion rates (31 citations), providing critical safety data at a time of international debate surrounding synthetic mesh use. His dedicated studies on sexual function following robotic prolapse repair address a frequently overlooked dimension of surgical outcomes. Across his body of work, totaling over 190 citations, Lenters has consistently employed rigorous prospective designs, including registered clinical trials, lending particular credibility to his findings. His research has materially shaped evidence-based practice in urogynecological and colorectal surgery, making him a valuable reference point for clinicians and trainees navigating this technically demanding specialty.
