About

Jan Viberg Jepsen is a leading figure in urological surgery, with a focused expertise in the validation of simulation-based training for robotic procedures and the optimization of oncological surgical outcomes. Jepsen’s major contributions center on establishing rigorous, evidence-based methods for assessing surgical competency, particularly through the development and validation of novel simulation tests. His landmark 2021 study, which has garnered 15 citations, provides critical validity evidence for a simulator-based test in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), assessing key modules like bladder neck dissection and neurovascular bundle dissection. This work is pivotal for standardizing training and ensuring patient safety. Additionally, Jepsen’s 2017 investigation into the impact of lymphadenectomy during laparoscopic and robotic nephroureterectomy (7 citations) addresses a crucial clinical question in upper tract urothelial carcinoma management. By combining a commitment to educational innovation with a focus on measurable clinical outcomes, Jepsen’s research directly bridges the gap between surgical simulation and real-world operative success, making him a key contributor to the advancement of minimally invasive urological oncology.
