About
Inga Peters is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on surgical innovation and clinical adaptation during healthcare crises. Her most impactful work, "To defer or not to defer? A German longitudinal multicentric assessment of clinical practice in urology during the COVID-19 pandemic" (13 citations), provided critical insights into how urology departments nationwide restructured care, postponing consultations and surgeries to manage capacity constraints. This study became a key reference for pandemic-era clinical decision-making. More recently, Peters achieved a remarkable first-in-men feasibility breakthrough with "Spider silk erectile nerve reconstruction in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy" (7 citations), demonstrating that biodegradable spider silk scaffolds can support nerve regeneration during prostate cancer surgery—a novel approach to preserving erectile function. This work bridges biomaterials science and robotic surgery, offering new hope for post-prostatectomy quality of life. Her contributions exemplify how translational research can address both acute systemic challenges and long-term patient outcomes, positioning her as a leader in adapting urological practice to evolving medical landscapes.
