About
Friedrich Otto Hartung is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), particularly for patients with large prostate glands. His major contributions lie in comparing the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) with endoscopic enucleation techniques, including Thulium laser (ThuLEP) and Holmium laser (HoLEP) enucleation. Hartung’s 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, with 30 citations, provided critical evidence that these two approaches are comparable, helping to guide surgical decision-making for large-volume BPH. He has also investigated perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in radical prostatectomy, contributing to evidence-based infection prevention. His work is characterized by rigorous propensity score-matched analyses and matched-pair study designs, ensuring high-quality comparative data. Hartung’s research directly addresses a clinical gap for prostates over 200 ml, where data remain scarce, and his publications in both English and German demonstrate his commitment to disseminating findings across international and local urologic communities.
