About
Geert J.L.H. van Leenders is a leading urological pathologist whose research centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His major contributions focus on optimizing nerve-sparing techniques during radical prostatectomy, particularly through the implementation and evaluation of NeuroSAFE (neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination). Van Leenders has demonstrated that intraoperative NeuroSAFE significantly increases the rate of nerve-sparing surgery without compromising oncological control, as shown in his highly cited 2022 study (40 citations). He has also pioneered the use of confocal laser microscopy as a faster alternative for intraoperative margin assessment (31 citations), and his work on functional outcomes—including urinary continence and erectile function—has shaped postoperative care standards (22 citations). With recent studies examining centralized prostatectomy protocols and lymphocele complications, van Leenders continues to refine surgical precision and patient quality of life. His research, amassing over 100 citations across key papers, has established him as a pivotal figure in translating pathology insights into real-world surgical practice, directly benefiting thousands of men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
