About
Dr. J.P. van Basten is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical oncology, medical imaging, and robotic surgery training. His primary research areas include the optimization of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) outcomes, the role of preoperative PSMA-PET/CT in predicting biochemical recurrence, and the development of structured surgical training curricula. His most impactful contribution is a 2021 study (29 citations) demonstrating that preoperative PSMA-PET/CT can predict biochemical persistence and early recurrence after radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection—a finding that directly informs surgical planning and patient counseling. Dr. van Basten has also pioneered work in surgical education, authoring a Delphi study (14 citations) that links specific surgical skills to postoperative outcomes, and a curriculum study (13 citations) showing that structured training for urology residents increases future surgical activity. Notably, his 2020 work on proctoring versus simulator guidance (10 citations) provides practical evidence that experienced supervision can be as effective as high-tech simulation for novice robot surgeons. His research on urethral stump measurements as predictors of urinary continence (5 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to improving patients' quality of life after prostate cancer surgery.
